Morgan Wallen‘s entourage at his Friday night concert in Kansas City included a trio of Super Bowl champions.
The “Whiskey Glasses” country crooner walked out of his green room at Arrowhead Stadium flanked by none other than Chiefs superstars Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes and Chris Jones. The tight end, quarterback and defensive tackle looked pumped as they hyped up Wallen’s entrance from the bowels of the stadium to the concert stage.
Wallen donned a custom Chiefs No. 7 jersey complete with his last name on the back. While some have been quick to note the singer entered the stadium wearing controversial Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker‘s jersey number, it should be noted that the 31-year-old “Up Down” singer often wears No. 7 jerseys at his concerts, as he wore No. 7 when he played baseball at Gibbs High School in Corryton, Tennessee. In fact, when ET caught up with Wallen in 2023 for a special concert on the baseball field he used to play, the scoreboard welcomed him with “Batter 7” on the field’s new scoreboard, which also paid homage to his then-new album, One Thing at a Time.
In any event, all involved looked psyched walking out to “WHISKEY WHISKEY,” Wallen’s collaboration with rapper Moneybagg Yo. Even Mahomes’ wife, Brittany Mahomes, was wilding out to their walkout and posted a snippet of it on her Instagram Story.
Kelce and Wallen have history, too. The Chiefs star visited Wallen’s bar in Nashville back in June. Kelce even took photos with locals.
Wallen’s been full of surprises. On night one of his pit stop in Kansas City, Wallen, who wore a Kansas City Royals jersey, walked out with Brooks & Dunn. He later surprised the crowd by bringing out country star Lainey Wilson for a special duet.
By the way, Wallen had a dream about playing professional baseball. But as he told ET, his life took a turn for the better.
“It’s important to me. I never thought that I would be able to do this. I had dreams of playing baseball. My life obviously took a different turn for the better, God had different plans, but it’s cool to come back here,” he said. “We had a good team. We had a very close-knit team. I love my coach. He’s still a coach. It’s just a lot of good things that run through my head when I step on this field, so it makes me probably more proud than almost anything.”
