Morgan Wallen Abruptly Walks Off SNL Before the Show's End: 'Get Me to God's Country'

Morgan Wallen wasted no time after his Saturday Night Live gig was complete.

The singer, 31, appeared as the musical guest on the March 29 episode of the late-night comedy sketch series, which saw Mikey Madison make her hosting debut weeks after she won the Best Actress award for her role in Anora at the 2025 Oscars.

At the end of the episode, Madison, 26, appeared next to Wallen on the Studio 8H stage, where she expressed her thanks to all who made the show possible, stating, "I had a wonderful time."

As the camera panned out, Wallen could be seen leaning in to whisper something into the actress' ear, before stepping off stage and breezing past the camera in front of him.

Shortly after, Wallen shared a photo on his Instagram Stories of a private jet with "Get me to God's country" written in white text over it.

During his SNL gig on March 29, Wallen sang "I'm the Problem" from his soon-to-be-released album of the same name for his first performance. Later in the show, the star returned to the stage to perform "Just in Case," also from his upcoming LP.

Wallen's most recent appearance on SNL came five years after his controversial debut on the series in 2020. The country crooner last appeared on the show that December, but he was supposed to perform two months prior.

Wallen was disinvited from his original musical guest gig after he was photographed kissing multiple college women and partying maskless in Alabama, breaking COVID-19 protocols in place at the time.

During his inaugural SNL appearance, Wallen first performed "7 Summers," before he later returned to the stage to sing "Still Goin' Down." He also appeared in a sketch poking fun at the controversy surrounding him at the time, in which he got warnings from future versions of himself.

A representative for Wallen did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment on Sunday, March 30.

I'm the Problem, Wallen's latest album, is set to be released on May 16. Saturday Night Live returns on April 5 with Jack Black as host and Elton John and Brandi Carlile as the musical guests.
