In a recent episode of Saturday Night Live, comedy writer Josh Patten took a playful jab at country music sensation Morgan Wallen following the star's sudden departure from the show. Wallen had graced the stage to perform two songs from his upcoming album, "I'm the Problem," including the title track and "Just in Case."

During the show's closing credits, Wallen shared a tender moment with guest host Mikey Madison, who just won an Oscar for Best Actress for her role in "Anora." Amid the music and festive atmosphere, Madison thanked the audience, while Wallen embraced her before whispering something into her ear and swiftly leaving the stage.

Shortly after, Wallen shared a rather cryptic photo on his Instagram Stories featuring what appeared to be a private jet on the tarmac accompanied by the intriguing caption, "Get me to God’s country." This post has sparked curiosity among fans and media alike, as Wallen has yet to clarify its meaning.

Patten, not one to shy away from humor, responded to Wallen's post with an Instagram Story of his own. He cheekily shared an image of a Krispy Kreme truck with the same caption, "Get me to God’s country." This prompted some speculation from media outlets about his fandom status regarding Wallen. In good humor, Patten responded with an eye-roll emoji and shared his Apple Music playlist, which notably featured several Wallen tracks, indicating that while he might poke fun, he is still a fan.

For those unfamiliar, Wallen's SNL appearance was particularly significant as it marked his second time on the iconic stage since facing intense backlash for a video that surfaced in early 2021, where he was heard using a racial slur. Though he later issued an apology, the incident led to a brief pause in his career, with several radio stations pulling his music and awards shows, like the American Music Awards, opting not to include him. Despite these challenges, Wallen continues to be one of the most commercially successful artists in the country music genre.

With his new album, "I’m the Problem," set to release on May 16, fans are eager to see how Wallen navigates the complexities of fame and controversy while continuing to deliver the music they love. Who knows what more surprises may be in store as he returns to the spotlight? Stay tuned!
