“Saturday Night Live” revealed whether Morgan Wallen will be invited back to the show after he abruptly exited the stage while the credits were rolling over the weekend.
Sources close to NBC, which airs the sketch comedy series, told TMZ on Monday that there is “no bad blood on their end” and that they would have the country music star back in the future.
Wallen’s swift exit was “just an awkward moment at the end of the show,” according to the insiders, who insisted he was not offended by any of the “SNL” cast members or their jokes.
The “You Proof” crooner had been on set preparing for the show since last Thursday and was privy to all of the quips in the episode, the outlet reported.
Additionally, Wallen reportedly left the same way he came in for rehearsals.
After performing two songs from his upcoming album, “I’m the Problem,” the Grammy nominee abruptly walked off the stage on Saturday as the end credits rolled instead of mingling with the cast.
Host Mikey Madison thanked Wallen for joining her as the musical guest before they exchanged a few words.
He then gave her a one-armed hug and beelined it down the aisle without saying a word to any of the comedians on set.
After leaving the show and seemingly skipping the afterparty, the “Voice” alum took to his Instagram Stories to share a photo of a private plane along with the cryptic caption, “Get me to God’s country.”
A source close to Wallen told TMZ on Sunday that his abrupt exit was a mishap and that he meant nothing by it.
The “Last Night” crooner entered and exited the studio the same way he did all week leading up to the live show, according to the report.
“SNL” writer Josh Patten later poked fun at the incident online, sharing a photo of a Krispy Kreme truck and writing, “get me to God’s country.”
