Hold on to your hats, folks, because things are getting wild at concerts! In a shocking incident, a fan hurled a cellphone at country music starMorgan Wallenwhile he was performing.
But Wallen, like a seasoned pro, kept his cool, even after being hit!
This isn’t the first time fans have gotten a little too rowdy at Wallen’s shows – just weeks earlier, he was bombarded with…underwear (yes, you read that right!).
The incident begs the question: what’s going on with concert culture?
Is this the new way to express admiration for our favorite musicians?
We delve into this bizarre trend, and take a look at how Wallen handled the situation (and another mishap onstage that proves he’s a true trooper).
Morgan Wallen Not Amused After Fan Throws a Phone at Him
In a shocking display of fan disrespect, a concertgoer at Morgan Wallen’s recent tour stop launched a projectile not of love, but of fury – a cellphone!
The video evidence is chilling: a manicured hand emerges from the crowd, a glint of malice in the pixels, before aphonestreaks through the air aimed at the unsuspecting country star.
Wallen, in the throes of belting out his hit “Cowgirls,” is struck square on the shoulder. But this is no damsel in distress – Wallen, unfazed, continues singing.
However, the moment the song allows, a steely glint enters his eyes. He bends down, retrieves the weaponized phone, and with a flick of the wrist, hurls it unceremoniously offstage.
This isn’t some harmless prank. This is a targeted attack, a blatant disregard for the safety of the performer. And it’s not an isolated incident.
Just weeks earlier, Wallen was bombarded with…underwear. Yes, you read that right. The disturbing trend of fans flinging objects at artists seems to be escalating, with Wallen just the latest victim.
The question begs asking: What is happening to concert culture? Are our favorite musicians no longer safe from the unhinged fringes of fandom? Is throwing projectiles the new way to express admiration?
We urge fans everywhere to remember: respect the artist, respect your fellow concertgoers, and keep your phones (and undergarments) firmly in your possession. The show must go on, but not at the expense of anyone’s safety.
Wallen Shows Grit After Phone Fling, But Even Superstars Can Stumble
In a recent, albeit less concerning incident, the country star proved his dedication to the show even when faced with a more…down-to-earth obstacle.
While performing his hit “You Proof” at a massive festival in London, Wallen took a tumble onstage. Thankfully, from the footage circulating on TikTok, it appears the culprit was a piece of stage equipment, not another unruly fan.
The video, captured by a fan with the username Kelseyy.Travels, shows Wallen mid-song when his boot catches on something, causing him to stumble.
A thud echoes as his foot makes contact, but Wallen, ever the professional, recovers in a flash. He doesn’t miss a beat, literally or figuratively, and continues belting out the song like nothing happened.
This incident, while certainly less alarming than the phone flinging, highlights the physical demands of live performance. Even the biggest stars aren’t immune to the occasional misstep.
Thankfully, Wallen’s quick reflexes and unwavering commitment to the show ensured the night went on without a hitch.
Recover Like Champs
Here’s to hoping for a phone-free, fall-free future for all performers…but hey, at least we know Wallen can handle whatever gets thrown his way, literally or figuratively.
And Wallen’s fans clearly took notice. Theinternetlit up with praise for his smooth recovery, with many commenting on social media about his professionalism and talent.
One TikTok user wrote, “When he slips or falls, he never misses singing a note!” Another echoed the sentiment, saying “Amazing how quickly he recovered, and never missed a beat!! ❤️.”
This isn’t the first time Wallen has displayed his on-stage composure under pressure.
Concertgoers at his recent Denver show witnessed his steely resolve when a fan launched a cell phone at him.
Unfazed, Wallen retrieved the projectile and tossed it aside, sending a clear message to the disrespectful audience member.
One thing’s for sure: Morgan Wallen is a performer who gives his all, dodging not only wayward phones but also the occasional stage mishap.
A Star on Top Despite Controversy
Morgan Wallen’s career trajectory is a testament to perseverance.
Despite past controversies, the country music star continues to rack up wins, with the recent release of his new single“Lies Lies Lies” and his chart-topping collaboration with Post Malone,“I Had Some Help.”
Following his triumphant headlining gig at London’s BST Hyde Park, Wallen shows no signs of slowing down.
“Lies Lies Lies,” penned by a team of songwriting heavyweights, is the latest gem from Wallen’s Abbey Road Sessions project, a collection recorded at the legendary London studio.
This isn’t just any recording session, though – it’s a culmination of Wallen’s international success, following his sold-out show at the O2 just months prior.
This relentless drive is a hallmark of Wallen’s career. His third studio album, “One Thing at a Time,” dominated the charts, with a record-breaking six singles simultaneously residing in the Hot Country Songs top 10.
And with his current “One Night at a Time” tour spanning across the U.S. and Europe, Wallen shows his dedication to connecting with fans around the world.

Morgan Seeks Forgiveness, But the Journey Continues
Morgan Wallen’s path back to grace is a complex one.
While country music icon Darius Rucker believes Wallen has grown and deserves forgiveness for his past transgressions, the road to full redemption appears long.

Despite his immense commercial success, Wallen remains absent from major award shows like the ACMs, CMAs, and even the Grammys. This industry snub, coupled with the recent chair-throwing incident in Nashville, paints a picture of a work in progress.
Wallen’s own apology for the chair-throwing incident suggests an awareness of his shortcomings. However, the question remains: will fans and the industry at large embrace a redeemed Morgan Wallen?
Only time will tell if Wallen’s music and genuine efforts at self-improvement can overcome the shadows of the past. One thing is certain: the country music landscape, and Wallen’s place within it, continues to evolve.
Wrapping Up
So, what’s the takeaway from Morgan Wallen’s wild ride of fan encounters and onstage mishaps?
A few things are clear. Concertgoers, let’s remember respect for the artist and fellow fans. Keep your phones (and undergarments) in your pockets!
And for performers like Wallen, these incidents are a reminder that the show must go on, no matter what gets thrown your way – literally or figuratively.
Here’s to hoping for a future filled with enthusiastic (but phone-holding) fans, flawless performances, and maybe even some well-placed bubble wrap around our favorite country stars.
