Say it isn't so! Morgan Wallen chops the mullet

Written by

If you were fortunate enough to see Morgan Wallen in concert in Ohio this past weekend, you may have been shocked to discover a big change in the country music superstar's appearance. Morgan Wallen has ditched his signature mullet hairstyle and is now sporting a buzzcut. He was seen onstage in Columbus on Friday in a red ball cap, to the conternation of those in the audience as well as on the internet. Fans have mixed emotions about this new look of his, and personally I can't say I'm for it. I have long hair and disapprove of most any haircut, but from what we have seen this is much more than just a trim.

Some have even gone as far as claiming that he is now bald, and that's a bit of an exageration, but honestly not too far off from the reality. He was quoted onstage midway through the performance addressing murmors about his new 'do announcing, "I didn't like my long hair anymore, so I shaved it off." In the past we've seen drastic hair style changes as such indicate instability and personal tribulations, but this doesn't necessarily seem to be the case for the artist behind chart toppers like Last Night, Whiskey Glasses, and Wasted on You

This comes right after news has broken that Dan Symers from Dan and Shay also hit a barbershop to get a fresh summer cut. The verdict is still up in the air as to whether these have been impulsive decisions or not, but I'd bet many a consideration had come to both of their minds beforehand, especially with the forethought that some of their fans may be disgruntled. At the end of the day whether you're a public figure or not, it's just hair and it will grow back, but i believe we're entitled to express our opinions so long as we are nice about them. With his roots in Tenessee, you would have to imagine that Wallen is no stranger to the summer heat, but as a performer on stage I am sure the shorter hair does makes a difference.
