Morgan Wallen’s fans are nothing if not fiercely loyal, and their reactions to the 2024 ACM Awards prove they’re ready to defend their idol against any slights. While the Wallen shade at the ACM Awards was in good fun, fans were not pleased. Some thought it was completely unnecessary, while some speculated that the awards show might have a vendetta against him due to past controversies — especially the chair incident.
“Nah cuz why aren’t we talking about how Morgan wallen got blackballed by the ACM awards bc he went to jail,” one tweeted, with another saying, “What a joke! The blatant disrespect for the biggest artist in country music is ridiculous! And I’d say that if I wasn’t a @MorganWallen fan. How do you deny the numbers this man pulls?! You’re ridiculous #acmawards.” Some fans even believed that the ACM had deliberately snubbed Wallen because of his stint in jail. “I do think that the members overlooked @MorganWallen on several of his nominations tonight because of the chair incident! Shame on them!” they said.
History repeats itself, they say, and for Wallen, this isn’t his first rodeo with ACM controversy. In 2021, the Academy had barred him from the show after he was caught on video spewing a racial slur. Though he was welcomed a year later and was even handed the album of the year award, this year’s shade-throwing may suggest that their relationship might still be on shaky ground.
