Morgan Wallen has continued to seize the country music world with his talent and chart-topping success as he sweeps across the country on his “One Thing At A Time” tour. Now, in another example of the young Wallen leading by example, TMZ reported that he gave free tickets to the family of an Idaho murder victim whose killing was the subject of national news earlier this year.
After hearing that the late Ethan Chapin was a fan of his music, Wallen sought out and invited the late college student’s family members to a meet and greet at a concert. Stacey Chapin, the mother of Ethan, shared the experience in an Instagram post where she expressed her great gratitude to Wallen.
“On Mother’s Day 2022, Ethan sent me the best text about how @morganwallen had written a song for his mom @lesliwallen and how that could be our song,” she began. “It was a very touching moment between us. I listen to “I Thought You Should Know” all the time. I’ve told this story a lot, and to our surprise, a very kind person made an introduction.”
“Last night, we met Morgan Wallen! He kindly gifted our family and friends tickets to his show in San Diego. Morgan’s mom, Lesli, even flew in! It was an incredibly bittersweet full-circle moment,” Stacey continued. “Truthfully, the show would have been enough. We were all over the moon, and then Morgan handed us a donation check to the @ethanssmilefoundation. It was one of the kindest gestures in my life. I still cannot believe it happened, and it isn’t easy to recognize it all came at a massive cost to our family.”
Morgan Wallen has become a bonafide superstar in country music following a breakout in the last few years. Even a cancellation attempt from the woke media couldn’t derail the career of the singer-songwriter who trudged through the woke mob to find success worldwide. Will Tanner from The American Tribune wrote about the massive success that Wallen is seeing at the top of the Billboard Top 100 chart, nothing that Wallen smash hit song “Last Night” sits at number one on the leaderboard.
Wallen’s star has only continued to grow as fans learn of the kind deeds that he offers to those in need, like the Chapin family, who no doubt saw their spirits raised in a time that is unimaginably tough for any parent or sibling. Through his music, Wallen was able to reunite the Chapins, if only briefly, with the lost son.
It is also noteworthy to mention that the Wallen press team did not leak this story. It comes straight from Stacey Chapin. At face value, it seems that Morgan would have been more than willing to do this with no positive press seeing that it ever happened.
