Morgan Wallen Sells ‘Get Me To God’s Country’ Merch After Viral ‘SNL’ Exit

Country star Morgan Wallen is taking advantage of his viral moment exiting the “Saturday Night Live” stage by selling themed merchandise based on the social media post he shared afterward.

The 31-year-old recording artist made headlines last weekend with his abrupt exit at the show’s end after performing two songs, which was a break in tradition. Usually, guests stick around as the credits roll, making Wallen’s quick exit from the stage look like a statement.

Not long after, he shared a photo on an Instagram story of what appeared to be a private plane sitting on a runway with a caption that said, “Get me to God’s country.” SNL is broadcast out of New York City. Wallen lives in Nashville.

Now, the “Last Night” singer is capitalizing on the virality of the moment, selling merchandise, including a t-shirt and a hat, repeating that caption. This likely refers to the Instagram story and could also reference a song title in his upcoming album, “I’m the Problem,” which comes out May 16.

Wallen whispered something in “Anora” actress Mikey Madison’s ear before departing the stage but did not appear to say goodbye to anyone else. “SNL” star Keenan Thompson addressed the moment during an interview with Entertainment Weekly. 

“I don’t know what goes through people’s minds when they decide to do stuff like that. I don’t know if he understood the assignment or not, or if he was really feeling a certain kind of way,” Thompson told the outlet. 

“It’s definitely a spike in the norm,” the longtime cast member added. “We’re so used to everybody just turning around and high-fiving us, everybody’s saying, ‘Good job, good job, good job.’ So when there’s a departure from that, it’s like, hmm, I wonder what that’s about?”

While Thompson admitted that other guests, including Prince, had been “standoffish,” he thought Wallen’s actions were a little more egregious. Later, the comedian also complained about Wallen’s Instagram post. 

“The ‘God’s country’ of it all is strange because it’s like, what are you trying to say? You trying to say that we are not in God’s country? We’re not all in God’s country? We’re not all under God’s umbrella? That’s not necessarily my favorite,” Thompson added.

Wallen has yet to publicly comment on the situation.
