Morgan Wallen took the stage at the 57th Annual Country Music Association Awards at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennesee, surprising the crowd with unannounced guest Eric Church! The duo performed their 2023 single "Man Made A Bar," delivering a slow, sentimental performance that had the entire arena in their feels.
Wallen and Church released "Man Made A Bar" in March 2023, describing neon-lit honky tonk bars as places of refuge for men with broken hearts. Before taking the stage at the awards show, Wallen hung out with Post Malone and HARDY on the red carpet, sporting a sleek, all-black fit complete with a fiery red jacket.
Just six weeks ago, Wallen announced that he would continue his iconic One Night At A Time Tour in 2024, with shows set for Indianapolis, Indiana, Oxford, Mississippi, Indio, California, Nashville, Tennessee, Hershey, Pennsylvania, and more! The "Last Night" standout took to social media to share his excitement for the upcoming dates and to detail plans for future singles.
"Been one of the best years for me and my music so we're gonna run it back.. same tour name, staying on this album and many more cities to visit.. I've got plans in mind to still single 'Cowgirls,' 'Man Made A Bar,' and who knows maybe '98 Braves.' Let's keep this thing going."
Others taking the stage at the 57th Annual CMA Awards include Carly Pearce, Chris Stapelton, Dan + Shay, Cody Johnson, Lainey Wilson, Kelsea Ballerini, Jelly Roll, Zac Brown Band, and more!
