Morgan Wallen’s Fans Cheer at a Decibel Level Higher Than Average Game

February 15, 2022/in Blog, New Music /by Team Country Swag

Morgan Wallen kicked off his 2022 Dangerous Tour with two sold-out shows at New York City’s Madison Square Garden. Wednesday, February 9th marked the first stop on his 54-city trek across the country. As Wallen opened the show with his current single “Sand In My Boots” solo on the piano, the room of 13k+ fans cheered for the superstar reaching a decibel level averaging 30dBs louder than the average game at the arena. Watch the video below.

Three tracks into his epic 23-song-set, Wallen emotionally addressed the room, “My name is Morgan Wallen. We were supposed to start our tour in Indiana, but the good Lord had other plans, so for 2022, our first show is right here in Madison Square Garden.” Wallen’s original tour kick-off was rescheduled due to inclement weather, allowing for the superstar to instead kick things off days later at The World’s Most Famous Arena.

To close out the two shows, Wallen took some extra time at the end of night two. After lapping the outskirts of the stage, locking eyes with fans in every corner of the room, Wallen emotionally stood centerstage and thanked the sold out room. “I just wanted to stand here and take it all in for a second. Thank y’all man. It really means the world to me that you guys are here. Thank you. I can’t say thank you enough. Thank you from me, and from my band, and my crew”, Wallen tearfully tells the crowd before reaching a loss of words. Wallen drops the mic and leaves the stage to end two epic nights of country music in New York City. Watch the video of the special moment below.

Country Swag helped kick off the big week of country music in New York City teaming up with country music personality Kelly Ford to host Pregame Parties before both shows.

ERNEST and Morgan Wallen’s New Song “Flower Shops” – OUT NOW

December 31, 2021/in Blog, New Music, News /by Dylan Bestler

Morgan Wallen and ERNEST’s new song, “Flower Shops” is out now, December 31st, and available on all streaming platforms. Learn more about the new track below.

If you are a fan of ERNEST or Morgan Wallen, it is likely you have already heard the stripped-down, acoustic version of “Flower Shops”. The two first teased the highly anticipated track back in August. Since then, fans have been begging for the sad, heartbreak ballad to be officially released. To build even more anticipation, ERNEST joined Wallen on stage to perform it live together on tour. Written alongside Ben Burgress and Mark Holman, ERNEST shares the inspiration behind the song and plays a sample of it on his podcast, Just Being ERNEST.

This is a traditional country-sounding song that centers around a relationship on the ropes. The subject constantly finds himself at the florist buying everything. From violets to roses to daisies, it is a desperate attempt to win back his woman’s love. Steel guitar is beautifully sprinkled all over the track. ERNEST takes the first verse and chorus, while Wallen sings the darker, second verse. Wallen laments about heavy drinking and drugs after she took the dogs and moved back in with her mom. The song ends with the two harmonizing the final chorus.

“So mister I’ll take your roses, if you cut off the thorns; she can’t take no more // I’ll buy violets and daisies to get back my baby, it’s gonna take all you got // it’s a bad day for love, but a good day for flower shops”

Wallen and ERNEST have been good friends for a while now; ERNEST even co-wrote eleven tracks on Wallen’s 10 week-number one project Dangerous: The Double Album. ERNEST has already had a successful career as a songwriter but is looking for some of his own material to go on tour with as well. He has several singles out including “Cheers” and “American Rust,” and a nine-track project titled Locals Only released in 2019, but “Flower Shops” might be the song to put his name on the map as an entertainer.

The two performed the song together on the first night of Wallen’s The Dangerous Tour 2022 kick-off during a sold-out show at Madison Square Garden. Check out the performance below.

Morgan Wallen collaborates with Lil Durk on new song, “Broadway Girls” available now, December 17th, on all streaming platforms. Learn more about the new track here.

Earlier this year, country superstar, Morgan Wallen shared a clip on social media of a song fans named “Broadway Girls.” The clip and the lyrics went viral quickly, leaving fans begging Wallen to release the song. Today, the singer-songwriter is doing just that, but in an unexpected way! Wallen collaborated with famed rapper Lil Durk on a killer version of “Broadway Girls.”

“I met her down at Aldean’s // She said she that saw me walking in about a mile away // Bouncers had to take her phone and that just took her smile away // She said I’m too drunk and crazy she don’t like the way I dance // She said you don’t have to join in //She said she’d take a chance””

The new song features the verse we have come to love from the previously released clip, as well as, new verses by Lil Durk. The collaboration is fresh, innovative, and unexpected. Sonically, the song pushes the envelope for Wallen, proving that he is a star in every sense of the word.

The song is a complete jam! Lil Durk and Wallen created something that is unlike anything else on the music scene right now, and we are here for it!

Fans can catch Wallen on tour next year. Check out the details here.
