“I think he’s hot no matter what,” one woman said, while another added: “Makes him look a little less daddy, but we still love him.”
“I love it. It’s awesome,” another concertgoer said of the “Chasin’ You” singer’s new look. “I love that guy so much so regardless of what he does to his hair.”

Another user agreed writing, “Hey @MorganWallen why’d you do us dirty. Lookin like a cue ball and took that beautiful mullet away from us. I SCREAMED and I’m HEARTBROKEN.”
While others were clearly loving the fresh cut with one fan writing, “Yes, his mullet is gone, BUT he’s still sexy as hell. Look at that face, that smile, and …..that voice! Yup! Still sexy @Morganwallen You do you baby!”
Wallen seemed to get a kick out of the fans’ reaction writing, “Right before everybody apparently started thinking I’m staying clean shaven forever lol.”

“I started the Morgan Wallen Foundation to support youth in two areas — sports and music,” Wallen said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital. “When I heard about Parkwood, right here in Nashville, I knew I wanted to help.”
Morgan’s passion was baseball prior to his singing career.
He was a pitcher at Gibbs High School in Tennessee, which boasts famous graduates who include Kenny Chesney, Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne and country singer Ashley Monroe. His sports career ended his senior year, though, when he injured the ulnar collateral ligament in an elbow and set his sights on music.
