Morgan Wallen caused a stir with his unexpected departure from the SNL stage, prompting speculation about what might have been said during the exit.
The singer, known for making memorable impressions, became a trending topic on social media.
Wallen was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live on March 29, with recent Oscar winner Mikey Madison hosting the episode.
Typically, as the show concludes, the cast, host, and guests gather on stage to bid farewell and engage in brief conversations while the credits play.
However, Wallen made his exit swiftly after a quick goodbye to the audience, briefly speaking to Madison, and bypassing interactions with the rest of the cast.
This unusual occurrence was noted by some cast members and sparked speculation among viewers on social media.
Lip reader Nicola Hicking shared her analysis with UNILAD, representing Slingo, on what she believes Morgan Wallen said to Mikey Madison and the background conversations of the cast.
According to Hicking, Wallen said before leaving the stage: “Thank you all so much, I had a wonderful time thank you all mwah mwah mwah.”
On Twitter, a user attempted to interpret what SNL veteran Mikey Day said to a colleague, guessing it was ‘That was weird’, regarding Wallen’s quick departure.
However, Hicking proposed a different interpretation, suggesting Day said: “Chatting to you was really good.”
She also analyzed what Colin Jost appeared to say to another cast member when the cameras focused on him, concluding it was: “You gotta remember how he is feeling”, though this statement lacks context.
While the lip reader’s interpretations are not confirmed facts, the full context of Wallen’s feelings in the moment remains unclear. The situation took another turn with an Instagram post by Wallen.
In a photo showing an airport runway, Wallen captioned it with ‘get me to God’s country’, indicating his longing for Tennessee.
