Country singer Morgan Wallen ditches ACM Awards seemingly to hangout with Tom Brady
Country superstar Morgan Wallen seemingly skipped the 60th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards on Thursday night to hang out with former NFL quarterback Tom Brady.
The 'Last Night' singer appeared to ditch the star-studded event in Frisco, Texas — just north of the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area — to toss a football around with the seven-time Super Bowl champion on a vibrant green golf course, according to his Instagram stories.

'Had a little mustard on it @tombrady,' Wallen captioned alongside a photo of him and Brady playing catch.
The image was posted to social media around when the ACM Awards were supposed to start at Ford Center.
The Post contacted Morgan Wallen's team for comment.
The 31-year-old was among the most-nominated artists on Thursday night alongside Ella Langley, Cody Johnson and Lainey Wilson.
The 'You Proof' performer was nominated for Entertainer of the Year, Male Artist of the Year, Single of the Year, Song of the Year, Music Event of the Year and 'Artist-Songwriter of the Year.
Wallen wound up losing in every category.

Instead, country music newcomer Langley and 'Yellowstone's' Wilson won the most awards.
This isn't the first time the 'Cowgirls' star avoided a glamorous award show.
The Tennessee native did not attend the 2025 Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Feb. 2, even though he was a first-time nominee with the song 'I Had Some Help,' which was up for Best Country Song and Best Country Duo/Group.
Just like the ACMs, Wallen was denied a Grammy that night.

The singer also skipped the 2024 CMA Awards, but won Entertainer of the Year.
Actor Jeff Bridges accepted the award on Wallen's behalf at the 2024 CMA Awards, even though he mispronounced his name when he revealed that Wallen had won.
The win came years after the CMAs banned the artist from attending their ceremony following a racial slur scandal.

Much like the awards show circuit, the musician found himself embroiled in controversy in front of a national live audience in late March when he walked off the 'Saturday Night Live' set on as cameras were still rolling.
The late-night sketch show usually has cast members, hosts, and musical guests stay on stage to chat as the credits roll, but right after host and Oscar-winning actress Mikey Madison closed the show, he gave her a hug and took off.
The country music performer seemingly didn't even go to the after-party and posted a photo of his private jet soon after his headline-making exit.
'Get me to God's country,' Wallen captioned on the story.
'SNL' recalled the unusual moment the following week and roasted Wallen twice.

Bob Odenkirk made this movie to impress his 'SNL' buddies
Bob Odenkirk is breaking bad. The 'Better Call Saul' star has revealed that he only made the 2021 action movie 'Nobody' because he wanted to impress his former 'Saturday Night Live' colleagues. 'I thought of you guys often when I was exercising and thinking that's just a reason to be doing this is if I could pull it off,' Odenkirk, 62, told Conan O'Brien during the 'Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend' podcast this week. 11 Bob Odenkirk discussing 'Nobody' and its newly released sequel during the 'Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend' podcast.

While Odenkirk name-dropped O'Brien, Robert Smigel and Adam Sandler as some of the buddies he wanted to impress, the 'Breaking Bad' actor also included comedian David Spade specifically. 'I kept thinking about Spade, I don't know why,' Odenkirk, who was a writer on 'SNL' from 1987 to 1991, laughed. 'He would go see it and go like, 'What the f–k?'' 11 Adam Sandler, David Spade and the rest of the 'Saturday Night Live' cast in 1992.

Although the 'Late Night' host didn't think too much of it at the time, he was quickly impressed by Odenkirk's surprising performance. 'When it came out, I was just, 'Oh, he's so good at this,'' O'Brien shared. 11 Conan O'Brien discussing 'Nobody' and its sequel during the 'Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend' podcast.

Even though O'Brien did not make the cut for 'Nobody 2,' he is hoping Odenkirk releases a third film so he can land a small role. 'I just want to be beaten,' O'Brien joked. 'I want someone to beat the s–t out of me.' 11 The poster for 'Nobody' (2021). ©Universal/Courtesy Everett Collection 11 The poster for 'Nobody 2' (2025). ©Universal/Courtesy Everett Collection 'Nobody' stars Odenkirk as Hutch Mansell, a retired assassin-turned-family man who must return to his former life after his family becomes the target of an unforgiving crime lord. The film's sequel reportedly picks up shortly after the events of the first movie, and Odenkirk's character takes his family on a much-needed vacation. 11 Bob Odenkirk on the red carpet at the SNL 40th Anniversary Special at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City on February 15, 2015.

While the sequel only just hit theaters, Odenkirk still teased the possibility of a third 'Nobody' movie on Thursday during an interview with the Associated Press. The two-time Emmy-winner said that he would like to make a third film that ends with his character having nothing left. 11 Bob Odenkirk reprising his role as Hutch Mansell in 'Nobody 2.' ©Universal/Courtesy Everett Collection 11 Bob Odenkirk as Hutch Mansell in 'Nobody 2.' ©Universal/Courtesy Everett Collection 'Yeah, the moral would be that everything he loves is gone,' Odenkirk told the outlet. 'He burned everything he loved.' 'We let him get away with it because the movie is an entertainment, and it's meant to tell you: Yes, you can let go of your rage in this magical world,' the 'Glengarry Glen Ross' Broadway star continued. 'But in the end, I would think that it's an addiction. And he does want to do it. He does want to have a go, and so does every guy.' 'That's why we have movies,' Odenkirk concluded. 'And that's why we have boxing matches.'
