Morgan Wallen is going up, down, up, down.
The country singer has experienced a slew of controversial moments since his rise to fame, from flipping a piano onstage to throwing a chair off a rooftop.
He has been arrested multiple times over the years.
The Grammy nominee’s career began when he appeared on “The Voice” in 2014.
Wallen released his debut album, “If I Know Me,” four years later, followed by “Dangerous,” “One Thing at a Time” and “I’m the Problem.”
Music success aside, Page Six is breaking down his most headline-making moments below.
Start your day with Page Six Daily.
Wallen was arrested in Tennessee, his home state, in 2016 for allegedly driving under the influence.
Prosecutors later dropped the misdemeanor charge.
The case appears to have been expunged.
In May 2020, the songwriter was charged with public intoxication and disorderly conduct over an incident at Kid Rock’s Big Ass Honky Tonk Rock N’ Roll Steakhouse.
Wallen subsequently took to X to “clear the air.”
“I went out downtown last night with a few old friends. After a couple bar stops, we were horse-playing with each other,” the “Whiskey Glasses” hitmaker wrote.
“We didn’t mean any harm, and we want to say sorry to any bar staff or anyone that was affected. Thank you to the local authorities for being so professional and doing their job with class.”
The charges were dropped two months later.
Wallen’s October 2020 “Saturday Night Live” appearance was scrapped after he neglected to follow COVID-19 safety guidelines.
Footage had surfaced of Wallen partying in Alabama without a mask days before he was scheduled to take the stage — so Jack White performed in his place.
At the time, Wallen clarified to his followers, “I’m not positive for COVID, but my actions this past weekend were pretty short-sighted and they have obviously affected my long-term goals and my dreams.
“I think I have some growing up to do. I think I’ve lost myself a little bit,” he added. “I’ve tried to find joy in the wrong places and, I don’t know, it’s left me with less joy. So, I’m gonna go try to work on that. I’m gonna take a step back from the spotlight for a little while and go work on myself.”
Wallen, instead, did his “SNL” gig in December 2020.
Wallen was suspended by his record label in February 2021 for using the N-word in a leaked video.
The “embarrassed” country star issued a statement, writing, “I used an unacceptable and inappropriate racial slur that I wish I could take back. There are no excuses to use this type of language, ever. I want to sincerely apologize for using the word. I promise to do better.”
Wallen, who later admitted to using the word around a “certain group of friends,” released a video the following week after “collect[ing his] thoughts” and “seek[ing] some real guidance.”
“I let so many people down. I let my son down, and I’m not OK with that,” he said, referencing his and ex KT Smith’s child, Indigo. “There’s no reason to downplay what I did, it matters and know I’m carefully choosing my next steps in repair.”
However, he blew off the NAACP — and his $500,000 donations to Black-led groups reportedly went missing.
The same month Wallen and Paige Lorenze made their romance Instagram-official in February 2022, the couple called it quits.
Page Six heard the “heartbroken” model “started getting all these messages on Instagram from girls saying, ‘I was with him. We slept together.'” so she “suspected he was cheating … with multiple people.”
Lorenze posted a cryptic quote about “karma” after the breakup was made public.
Wallen never commented on the alleged infidelity.
In April 2023, Wallen canceled a Mississippi concert after his openers performed — and minutes before he was scheduled to take the stage.
One of the 60,000 fans Wallen stood up went on to sue the “Wasted on You” singer.
After Wallen’s record label denied he was “too drunk” for the gig, the performer insisted he had lost his voice.
His doctor ordered six weeks of vocal rest, with Wallen cleared to sing again that May.
Wallen was arrested on felony charges of reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct in April 2024 after throwing a chair off the rooftop of Eric Church’s Chief’s on Broadway bar in Tennessee.
The furniture landed near cops standing outside the six-story establishment.
After Wallen was released on a $15,000 bail, he took “responsibility” in a social media statement.
“I’m not proud of my behavior,” he tweeted at the time. “I have the utmost respect for the officers working every day to keep us all safe.”
Wallen pleaded guilty in December 2024 and was sentenced to seven days at a DUI education center, placed on two-year probation and ordered to pay a $359 fine.
Wallen was the musical guest in a March 2025 “SNL” episode — and went viral for walking off the stage while credits rolled and skipping the after-party.
A source told Page Six at the time that Wallen was “not super friendly” to staff and refused to appear in a sketch, so Joe Jonas stepped in instead.
Shortly after fleeing the set, Wallen posted a picture of the private plane and wrote, “Get me to God’s country.”
He went on to sell merch with the quote.
Wallen flipped — and broke — his piano during a May 2026 performance in Colorado when the instrument appeared to be malfunctioning.
The musician poked fun at the incident in a sarcastic TikTok video about how “distraught” he felt over the piano.
When he abruptly canceled a show days later, Wallen clarified “nonsense” rumors that the drama had anything to do with his onstage meltdown, insisting it was weather-related.
During Wallen’s May 2026 concert at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, he noticed a security guard recording the show with a cell phone.
Mid-song, he doubled back to rip the device from her hands and fling it across the stage.
Wallen’s rep has yet to respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
