Why Morgan Wallen Almost Swore Off Arizona: What You Need to Know

Morgan Wallen recently made headlines for telling fans in Arizona that he considered not returning to the state after a rocky first night during his “I’m the Problem Tour.” Here’s what went down—and what turned it around.

A Chaotic First Night in Glendale

Morgan Wallen played back-to-back shows at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, over the weekend. But after his first performance on Friday, July 18, the singer hinted at serious frustration with the crowd.

“I didn’t know if I was ever gonna come back to Arizona after that crowd last night,” Wallen told fans during Night Two. “But I think tonight you guys might change my mind.”

So, what happened?

According to fan-shot videos on TikTok, Night One was chaotic. Some fans reportedly threw items on stage, disrupting the show. One TikTok user shared, “Y’all were literally throwing so much stuff onstage, crew members from backstage were coming out to grab it.”

More Than Just Flying Objects

It wasn’t just tossed items that rattled Wallen. At one point during the show, a fan grabbed his shirt sleeve while he walked through the crowd. He appeared visibly annoyed but continued performing.

Social media lit up with commentary. Some described Wallen as looking “checked out,” while others defended his reaction. “He doesn’t seem into the crowd at all,” one TikTok comment read. “Ugh, so embarrassing for those of us who actually behaved,” said another.

During his performance of “I’m the Problem,” Wallen poured a can of liquid on stage in a dramatic moment—splashing the front row with what many saw as frustration.

A Redemption Night for Arizona Fans

Thankfully, Night Two told a different story. Wallen returned to the stage in better spirits, and the crowd kept it respectful. He smiled, engaged with the audience, and even brought out Joe Dirt, David Spade’s iconic character, for a surprise moment.

It seems Arizona is back in Wallen’s good graces—at least for now.

Wallen’s “I’m the Problem Tour” continues Friday, July 25 in Seattle.
