Morgan Wallen Stares Down Fan Who Hit Him With A Cell Phone On Stage During Night One In Ann Arbor
You’d think they’d know better by now.
Morgan Wallen is wrapping up his Still the Problem Tour, with only two dates left after this weekend’s two-night run at the Big House in Ann Arbor, Michigan. And for some reason, people are still trying to throw their phones on stage in hopes of…getting a selfie, I guess?
Spoiler alert: It never works.
Throughout the tour, we’ve seen several instances of Morgan getting annoyed with fans throwing their phones on stage during the show – which usually results in the phone going flying in the opposite direction:

And of course there was the incident last month in Pittsburgh when Morgan spotted a security guard recording with a fan’s phone by the stage, and sent that phone flying too:

Well that just happened… Amy gave her phone to the lady to hand to Morgan Wallen and he launched it. I get it… security should be doing security things, but….

Yeah, he’s clearly over the phones causing problems.
Well last night, Morgan was performing in Ann Arbor when yet another phone came flying on stage, this time appearing to hit him right in the shin as he performed “I Got Better.”
You can see the superstar’s demeanor immediately change as he walks away, and then comes back to stare down the fan who just hit him with their phone:

Good Morning to everyone – except the person who threw their phone at Morgan Wallen in Michigan @morganwallen #imstilltheproblem #michigan #annarbor #morganwallenmichigan #michigannight1

It appeared that Morgan was trying to point out the fan to security, but it’s not clear whether the offender was removed from the concert. But at this point, with how often this seems to happen, it wouldn’t be a surprise if he decides to move the pits further back on future tours – or eliminate the runway down the middle of the stadium to keep himself from being a target.
Aside from it being dangerous to throw a phone at somebody, I don’t understand what these people are thinking because the chances of them losing their phone forever after throwing it into a crowd is…pretty high. Is it really worth having to replace your phone just for the slight chance that Morgan picks it up, takes a video or a selfie, and then somehow manages to get it back to you undamaged?
Morgan has just three dates left on his Still the Problem tour, with tonight’s show in Ann Arbor followed by two nights at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania next weekend to wrap things up. Let’s see if he’s able to make it through those shows without getting hit by a cell phone…or whether it’s “still the problem” to the very end. (I’m sorry, that was terrible).
“Been By Now”
Morgan kicked off his next era of music yesterday with the new single “Been By Now,” his first release from his next (still unannounced) album. And last night in Ann Arbor he also took some time (between dodging cell phones) to reflect on leaving the I’m the Problem era behind:
“It’s a little bittersweet because we’re getting to the end of this tour and kinda the end of this album’s era, I’d guess you’d say. I ain’t really sure exactly what I’m gonna do next, but I do know that I’ve been in the studio, been making a lot of music. I’m excited about it.”
Let’s hope this next era doesn’t include as many flying cell phones.The post Morgan Wallen Stares Down Fan Who Hit Him With A Cell Phone On Stage During Night One In Ann Arbor first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
