Morgan Wallen Shares Photo From London

Author Nancy Brooks // Country Writer, Beasley Media Group

Morgan Wallen is currently overseas and posted a photo of himself in London on Instagram. Morgan did not caption the image of himself wearing an oversized coat, scarf, and beanie hat in front of London’s British Parliament and Big Ben clock tower.

Many of his almost seven million Instagram followers reacted to the post. One fan commented, “Great picture and Merry Christmas and be careful.” Another fan wrote, “Go Big.” One more fan asked, “How long are you staying!?”

See that post here.

Wallen talked to Billboard about the mass of his fame, saying he can’t do everyday things like go to the grocery store. He also notes that he must go through the back doors to the doctor. He says he still tries to have as much normalcy as possible.

Morgan said adjusting to fame has been a challenge and that he has a new use for his hunting camo gear, wearing it and face paint at times so he can “sneak around” and not be recognized by fans. He isn’t complaining, though, saying that his life is all about playing shows and hanging out with his three-year-old son, and he is “happy as hell” with that.

Wallen’s “One Night At A Time World Tour” was recently extended into 2024 with ten additional stadium shows. A rotating lineup of guests, including Bailey Zimmerman, Jelly Roll, Jon Pardi, Lainey Wilson, Nate Smith, Bryan Martin, Lauren Watkins, and Ella Langley, will join for support.

Morgan’s coast-to-coast run will include Nashville, Arlington, Texas, Las Vegas, and more stops.

Wallen said, “Thank y’all for an insanely fun and fulfilling 2023 tour. It was impossible for me to hit every stadium that I wanted to in 2023, so we’re gonna keep this tour going in 2024. See y’all out there!”

Five Country Stars That Play To Crowds Bigger Than Their Hometown

  • Luke Combs - Born in Huntersville, North Carolina

    As of 2021, Huntersville has a population of roughly 60,000. That is just a bit less than the crowd size Luke plays for each night on his stadium tour. Combs is now in New Zealand playing for big crowds overseas.

  • Morgan Wallen - Born in Sneedville, Tennessee

    Morgan is playing for audiences each night on his stadium tour for crowds more than forty times the size of his hometown. In 2020, the population of Sneedville was just 1,315.

  • Lainey Wilson - Born in Baskin, Louisiana

    Lainey’s hometown is tiny, with a population of just 211 reported in 2021. Wilson is now on her own headling arena tour playing for crowds of more than 10,000 people, and she just wrapped Luke Combs stadium tour as an opener playing for crowds over 60,000 each night.

  • Eric Church - Born in Granite Falls, North Carolina

    Eric is from a very small town with just under 5,000 (4,927) as of 2021. Church is currently on his “Outsiders Revival Tour,” playing outdoor arenas with more than twice his hometown’s population at each stop.

  • Carrie Underwood - Born in Muskogee, Oklahoma

    Carrie often talks about her hometown being Checotah, Oklahoma, which has a population of 2,043 as of 2021, but she was actually born in Muskogee, Oklahoma, with a population of 36,790 (2021). Either way, opening for Guns N’ Roses on their “World Tour” like she has last week (8/6) and a few more times this month, she is playing for packed rock crowds of over 60,000.
