Morgan Wallen graciously thanked his dad, Tommy Wallen, for making him the father he is today for his 2-year-old son, Indigo “Indie” Wilder Wallen, in a newsletter sent to his fans on Friday, June 16.
The newsletter, which was sent to his mailing list, also included a special Father’s Day merch sale, which gave fans 15% off all merchandise in his store, and photos of Wallen with his dad and son.
“Happy Father’s Day to all you dads out there raising up good ole boys and girls,” Wallen shared. “And to my dad, thank you for being an example of what a good father is. Grateful for your guidance and support.”
Wallen went on to share a message of gratitude for his father for being a good role model.
“Wouldn’t be the father I am today without you. I’m so blessed to have Indie & thank the Lord every single day he chose me to be his daddy!”
The record-breaking hitmaker has been open about how fatherhood has made an impact on his life.
“I think the most important thing for me over the past couple of years, I’m a dad now,” Wallen said in a recent interview with Breakfast Television. “That’s really given me something different to live for.”
Wallen continued, “I don’t know if I’d say I was selfish, but I probably was before that. But now, things just have a whole different meaning for me. So even in the highs in the lows, I always have him. All the time, he’s there. He’s what’s important to me.”
In May, the East Tennessee native recently rang in his 30th birthday by spending some quality time with his son, Indigo, who will turn three on July 10.
The father/son duo was all smiles as they posed for photos while cruising around in a UTV.
“Celebrating 30 w my dawg,” Morgan Wallen captioned the sweet snapshots.
Wallen is gearing up to resume his One Night At A Time World Tour in late June when he returns to the stage at Chicago’s iconic Wrigley Field for back-to-back nights at the home of the Chicago Cubs.
On Thursday, June 22, Wallen will be joined by HARDY, ERNEST, and Bailey Zimmerman, and on Friday, June 23, Parker McCollum, ERNEST, and Bailey Zimmerman.
Wallen’s sold-out headlining One Night At A Time World Tour kicked off with two sold-out shows at American Family Field in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in April.
Produced by Live Nation, the trek will feature support from ERNEST and Bailey Zimmerman on all dates. HARDY and Parker McCollum will also appear on select dates.
The One Night At A Time World Tour marks Wallen’s first-time ever headlining stadiums across the globe for multiple nights.
The tour is in support of Wallen’s latest album, One Thing At A Time, which recently claimed the top spot on the Billboard 200 chart for a 13th non-consecutive week.

Over the course of her career, Black’s written work and interviews have reached billions of country music fans worldwide. A 2009 graduate of the University of Central Florida, Black began her career by founding Country Music Is Love, one of country music’s earliest independent digital publications, which she later sold to a major record label in 2015 before it was rebranded as Sounds Like Nashville. She then served as the publication’s Editor-in-Chief for more than two years. Her work has also appeared in Forbes, and she previously served as the Country Music Expert for Answers.com.

The series has welcomed thousands of fans in person while reaching millions more online. In addition, she hosted Connect With Country Now, a weekly interview series featuring conversations with rising country stars. Throughout her career, Black has earned a reputation for discovering and championing artists long before they become household names. She has covered Luke Bryan since the early days of his career, beginning when he was writing songs for other artists, including Billy Currington’s No. 1 hit “Good Directions,” before stepping into the spotlight with his debut single, “All My Friends Say” and eventually becoming one of biggest names in music. She also gave Megan Moroney her first opportunity to walk a major red carpet as Country Now’s official guest correspondent at the 2022 CMA Awards. An interview she conducted in 2018 for Forbes.com with Luke Combs that inspired his multi-week No. 1 hit, “Doin’ This.” She has also hosted stages at CMA Fest, moderated an industry panel at Country Radio Seminar, and helped lead important conversations about the evolving landscape of country music media. Beyond journalism, Black has also used her platform to support charitable causes and highlight organizations making an impact. Through Country Now Live, she has helped raise awareness and support for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, while also advocating for animal rescue through Country Now’s Pupdate series, spotlighting organizations including MuttNation Foundation, Wags & Walks, and Proverbs 12:10 Animal Rescue.

Her first-ever book, Country Music Forever: An A-to-Z Celebration of Icons, Songs and Stories, brings that same passion and firsthand knowledge to the page, celebrating not only the legendary artists and timeless songs that have become the soundtrack to generations of fans, but also the places, traditions, and cultural moments that have made country music one of the most beloved genres around the world.
