Morgan Wallen’s So-Called Fans Are Unhinged, Unfair And Need A Wake-Up Call

Morgan Wallen’s so-called fans lost their minds in April, and they need a serious wake-up call to how obnoxious their behavior has been.

Wallen first caught heat after he was forced to cancel an April 23 show in Oxford, Mississippi, at the very last minute. He then had to reschedule at least three other shows due to “doctor-ordered vocal rest.” In response to this heartbreaking medical emergency, Wallen’s so-called fans have sued him, sent him a bill for their atrocious financial decisions and accused him of being too drunk to perform.

Wallen’s label emphatically denied the rumor that he was too drunk. In fact, the rumor was reportedly started by an unnamed security guard at the concert, whose boss also shut down the claim, according to People.

But that hasn’t stopped some of Wallen’s so-called fans from acting like spoiled, disgusting little children who were raised by wolves.

Let me make it clear that celebrities like Wallen do not work for you, so-called fans. These individuals have a superb talent that they leverage to support their families, just like everyone else. Yes, there are some celebrities who spend their lives being famous for being famous, but Wallen is not one of those men.

I don’t know Wallen personally, but I know a huge number of other celebrities, including comedians, musicians, country stars, actors and the rest of these sub demographics. And while some of those individuals are car crashes of humans, sure, they are nothing compared to the trolls Wallen is dealing with online. They also have a career in the public eye but do not perform a public service, other than maybe some spiritual enrichment from their art, so they don’t owe you anything.

These so-called fans should be reminded Wallen works harder than almost anyone else in country music. He spent all of 2022 on the “Dangerous” album tour, which he only wrapped in October 2022. In less than two months following the tour’s conclusion, he released new music, announced and then released a 36-track album and scheduled a new tour for 2023.

It’s my gut feeling that Wallen is currently dealing with the health consequences of working too hard to rebuild his career and reputation after nearly losing it all in 2021. He also became a father in this time, and the only way that musicians make real money from their music is from touring. So obviously he’s going overboard with his output, and that makes me wonder about his personal input.

Burnout is real. And I would bet my money that Wallen is being walloped with it. Perhaps these nasty, petty, unhinged fans need a wake-up call. (RELATED: Morgan Wallen Shares Devastating Injury That Changed His Life)

Oh, boo-hoo, you spent some money and didn’t get what you wanted? Welcome to adulthood, darlings. It sucks and the only thing you can do to get through how much it sucks is show up with a little love, a little compassion and a little more God in your heart. I would double my bet that none of the people being brats to Wallen could do what he does. I know I couldn’t!

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
