In an electrifying night at the 2024 CMA Awards, the long-shunned Morgan Wallen was celebrated as the Entertainer Of The Year.

In what felt like almost an afterthought of the broadcast, presenter Jeff Bridges made the announcement that former The Voice contestant and long legal-battle-embroiled “Morgan Waylon” was this year’s CMA EOTY and the crowd went wild as the hosts of the show quickly jumped to the stage and put an end to the show in Wallen’s absence.

I think the only person more surprised than us is Morgan himself. As of right now there have been no new posts from any of Morgan Wallen’s social media accounts in over 2 weeks.
