Wallen’s headlining set featured a special surprise from Lainey Wilson, who had performed earlier in the evening. She joined Wallen on stage to sing his latest release, “Lies Lies Lies,” marking their first live performance of the fan-favorite hit together.

After welcoming her to the stage, Wallen shared, “Me and Lainey, we don’t have a song together as of now, so we’re gonna try something that we ain’t never tried before. This is my most recent release. It’s called ‘Lies Lies Lies.’ Y’all sing it with us.”

Wallen’s One Night At A Time World Tour continues in Kansas City tonight, featuring Bailey Zimmerman, Nate Smith, and Ella Langley. Next week, the tour heads to Las Vegas before returning to Europe with shows in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and more.

In September, Wallen will fulfill a lifelong dream by headlining Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, with two shows set for September 20 and 22.

“I’ve had the honor of playing in a lot of college, MLB and NFL stadiums the past two years, but getting to play to my hometown at Neyland Stadium, nothing tops this for a boy from East Tennessee,” Wallen previously shared in a statement.

A portion of proceeds from every ticket sold to Morgan Wallen’s live performances goes to The Morgan Wallen Foundation (MWF), dedicated to ensuring all children have opportunities to flourish, play, and express themselves through sports and music. In celebration of his Hyde Park debut, MWF has allocated $20,000 to support the London Youth Choirs (LYC). LYC aims to enhance access to music and singing for underprivileged youth, with Wallen’s donation helping them discover their musical talents and thrive.
