He went on to furth praise Morgan for his work ethic and “honesty.” Morgan also received a standing big ovation from the crowd, although he wasn’t present. He was placed on six weeks of doctor-mandated vocal rest after pushing himself too far. Apparently, if he doesn’t put himself on vocal rest, he could permanently damage his singing voice. MASSIVE HATE Country music fans on Twitter were furious that Morgan won and even more angry that Garth publically praised the singer. One tweeted, “Five honest guys, Garth? We got the everyman, a guy that got lost on his own property, the white and bearded guy, Stapleton (ok, he passes), and…well, Morgan Wallen.” Another said, “Audience giving a standing ovation to Morgan Wallen is disgusting. So is Garth hyping him up.” A third added, “Morgan Wallen winning male country artist of the year over Chris Stapleton and Luke Combs is a joke.” “Garth Brooks said ‘honest men’ then Morgan Wallen won,” commented another. Morgan is a country singer and songwriter who gained media attention as one of the competitors in the sixth season of The Voice. As a result of his stellar performances, he has won many awards such as one Country Music Association Award, one iHeartRadio Music Award, three Billboard Music Awards, and one Academy of Country Music Award. MORGAN’S HISTORY Morgan was recently placed on a six-week vocal rest, and he was forced to cancel the next six weeks of his public appearances – including his ACM Awards performance. In a statement, Morgan said he has “vocal fold trauma” that requires extreme vocal rest. When his vocal rest and the cancelation of his tour were announced, he was already 20 minutes late to his concert at The Unversity of Mississippi. A fan in attendance at the Mississippi concert soon filed a federal lawsuit against Wallen for breach of contract and negligence. She is suing to redeem the “out-of-pocket expenses” caused by the concert cancellation and the price of her ticket. All the way back in 2021, a video surfaced of Morgan dropping a racial slur after spending a night out with his friend. He has since apologized, but the incident has not been forgotten. Soon after, his music was pulled from the radio, he was suspended by his record label, and he was banned from the American Music Awards.
