A chair toss with a view.
Morgan Wallen is still currently in some hot water over his last chair toss, when he was arrested back in April for throwing a chair off the rooftop of Eric Church’s downtown Nashville bar, Chief’s.
The chair reportedly landed near two police officers who were standing on the sidewalk below, and the country music superstar is currently facing three felony charges of reckless endangerment and one count of misdemeanor reckless endangerment. He’s due back in court here in Nashville on August 15.
But if Morgan’s looking for a safe place to throw chairs, one Myrtle Beach bar is willing to set it up for him.
Tin Roof, located right on the oceanfront strip in Myrtle Beach, made the offer while Morgan was in town to headline Carolina Country Music Festival this weekend:
“Hey Morgan, your chair has been waiting all weekend long at Tin Roof! This throw has a much better view.”
And in the comments, they promised to arrange a “safe and organized chair toss” if he took them up on the offer.
It doesn’t look like Morgan was able to stop by to make it happen, which is probably welcome news to his PR team and lawyer.
Morgan Breaks Nashville Record With Three-Night Run At Nissan Stadium
Morgan recently drew the ire of the Metro Nashville City Council, which denied a permit for a sign on his new downtown bar after several council members criticized the country music superstar for his high-profile controversies.
In discussing whether or not to allow the sign, councilman Jordan Huffman said that Morgan “doesn’t belong” in Nashville:
“Number one, Mr. Wallen is a fellow East Tennessean. He gives all of us a bad name. His comments are hateful, his actions are harmful, and you don’t belong in this town as far as I’m concerned. I’m tired of this city bending over to just make anybody happy that makes a comment that they want to. We continue to go down this road. I encourage my colleagues to vote against this.”
The council ultimately denied the permit for the sign, but that didn’t stop Morgan Wallen’s This Bar & Tennessee Kitchen from opening this month to long lines and packed crowds.
And after the comments from the council, Morgan clapped back on his Instagram story with a photo of his sold-out concert at Nissan Stadium just a couple of weeks earlier.
Of course Morgan didn’t just sell out one night at the city’s biggest venue: He packed in crowds for three nights at Nissan Stadium, drawing thousands to Music City over the weekend that also coincided with not only college graduations but also a Nashville Predators playoff hockey game.
And it just so happens that the weekend Morgan was in town, Nashville set a record for the most hotel room bookings EVER in the city’s history.
According to the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp., more than 75,000 hotel rooms were sold that weekend, the most that Nashville has ever seen in one weekend. For the Nashville metropolitan area, 94% of all hotel rooms were booked, and in downtown Nashville, a whopping 98% of all hotel rooms were filled – no doubt a lot of them with white cowboy boot-clad Morgan Wallen fans heading to his show at Nissan Stadium.
To put that into perspective, Taylor Swift was in town the same weekend in 2023 for three sold-out shows at Nissan, but the number of hotel rooms sold while Morgan was in town was higher than the weekend Taylor was here.
Seems like the people have spoken when it comes to whether or not Morgan “belongs” in Nashville…
