Morgan Wallen BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Morgan Wallen has dominated headlines and social buzz all week for a wild cocktail of controversy and massive business moves. His 2026 Still the Problem stadium tour presale ignited a social media firestorm over ticket prices that saw front row seats fetch $1,500 and even the farthest nosebleeds clock in around $500. According to a TikTok breakdown and countless Instagram and X comments, fans blasted what they called “insane” costs, with some labeling it a “slap in the face.” Many pointed fingers at Ticketmaster and their “dynamic pricing” tactics rather than Wallen directly, but that didn’t stop Wallen’s name from trending up and down the feeds as seats remained unsold and grumbling continued on every platform from X to Instagram to TikTok. The tour itself is a juggernaut: 21 stadium gigs across major cities, launching April 10, 2026 in Minneapolis and wrapping in Philadelphia on August 1, and will follow up the wildly successful 2025 I’m the Problem tour, which critics at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette hailed as a clear sign Wallen is “one of the hottest artists of the century.”
Not all attention has been negative. Wallen just unveiled a major business venture, teaming with Eric Church to resurrect the legendary Field & Stream brand and launch the new Field & Stream TV across streaming platforms. The channel, which will feature new original series and outdoor lifestyle programming, is earning praise from both the music and business worlds. The Tennessean reports Wallen and Church acquired Field & Stream last year, and both stars are positioning the revived network as a landmark arrival in outdoors entertainment.
Meanwhile, in real-world appearances, Wallen made waves with a buzzy surprise guest spot at Ella Langley’s Ryman Auditorium show just steps from the upcoming CMA Awards. The two performed a duet of “Cover Me Up,” and Wallen couldn’t resist a sly jab at the CMAs, quipping “It takes a lot more than an awards show to get me out to Broadway these days.” This cool defiance comes after years of rocky history with the CMAs, including his high-profile 2021 ban and repeated snubs despite record-setting commercial success. Wallen’s history of public controversy—whether a 2021 racial slur scandal or previous arrests—has paradoxically amplified his popularity, pushing streaming and sales numbers even higher with each flare-up, as chronicled by WKML and other outlets.
To cap off his week, chatter continues over the potential return of Wallen’s Sand in My Boots festival next summer, following last year’s Gulf Shores turnout of 40,000 fans nightly. As of today, Morgan Wallen is the most talked-about name in country, driving every industry storyline, headline, and hashtag—be it for soaring new ventures, stadium spectacles, or ticket outrage that shows no sign of dying down.
