Country music star Morgan Wallen was dropped by “Saturday Night Live” as this week’s musical guest, the singer announced on his Instagram account Wednesday evening. Wallen drew backlash after TikTok videos were posted in which he was partying without a mask at the University of Alabama days before.
“I’m in New York City in a hotel room, I was getting ready for SNL this Saturday, and I got a call from the show letting me know I will no longer be able to play,” Wallen said in a short video. “And that’s because of covid protocols, which I understand.”
“I am not positive for covid,” he continued. “My actions this past weekend were pretty shortsighted, and they have obviously affected my long-term goals and my dreams. I respect the show’s decision because I know that I put them in jeopardy. I take ownership for this. I’d like to apologize to SNL, to my fans, to my team, for bringing me these opportunities. And I let them down.”

They have their rules & protocols. There is a need to minimize the risk to others on the show.
