Morgan Wallen BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Morgan Wallen’s explosive final shows of the I’m the Problem Tour are making headlines and reshaping Edmonton’s nightlife as the country superstar caps off a record-stomping run at Commonwealth Stadium September 12 and 13 according to Holler and Global News. Both nights are completely sold out with tens of thousands of fans flooding Alberta from across Canada and the U.S. Local hotels are maxed out, rooms going for over $1,000 a night, and the entire city reporting its largest economic windfall in years as noted by Global News. The last time Commonwealth Stadium saw such pandemonium was the U2 360 tour in 2011. Restaurants, bars, and local businesses are capitalizing on this country hurricane, with police proactively managing serious traffic congestion in the area.
Wallen’s onstage charisma is matched only by the hype around him offstage. The internet is ablaze after Drake, Canada’s biggest musical export, wore a custom Morgan Wallen and Big Loud jacket in Europe on September 11, reigniting rumors about a possible collaboration. There’s no confirmed track yet, but many insiders see Edmonton as the likeliest venue for a surprise debut — even if it’s just a recorded preview. Social speculation is in overdrive as fans wonder whether Tate McRae, the Canadian pop star featured on Wallen’s No. 1 hit What I Want, or sports icons from the Edmonton Elks might join the show.
Musically, Wallen is peaking. He currently sits at the top of the MusicRow CountryBreakout Radio Chart with “I Got Better,” from his fourth studio album, and fans are still buzzing over standout setlist additions like Kick Myself and the stormy title track according to MusicRow. His recent Toronto shows were described as legendary, drawing praise from sports figures like Pat McAfee and pushing fans to plead on Instagram for more tour dates, particularly in cities skipped this year like Nashville, New York, and Knoxville, as covered by Parade.
Drama followed Wallen to Toronto where he made a pointed gesture in the brewing feud with Charley Crockett. According to Country Thang Daily, during a live set, Wallen threw up two middle fingers at a Crockett t-shirt held by opener Gavin Adcock—a silent but unmistakable response to Crockett’s criticisms of bro-country and Wallen’s musical tastes.
On social media, Wallen stays mostly understated but shrewd. His September 9 Instagram post from Toronto flooded with comments from adoring fans and high-profile admirers only amplified the perception that Wallen is, as one fan put it, the best to ever do it.
All told, Morgan Wallen is closing his tour not just with chart-topping songs but with a cultural impact that is sending shockwaves through both country music and popular culture. If there’s a bigger star in North American music right now, you’d be hard-pressed to find them. Speculation about collaborations with Drake and surprise stage appearances will keep rumor mills spinning, but for now, Wallen is indisputably the main event.
