As we reported last night, Morgan Wallen returned to performing on live television with a two-song performance on last night’s (5/15) 2022 Billboard Music Awards, which aired live from Las Vegas.

After walking his mother on the red carpet for the event and then performing, an excited Morgan won Top Male Country Artist on the show, thanking his fans, God, and of course, mama.

Fans’ reaction to his return has been divided on Twitter as people sounded off both their support and some opposition.

• Hard Pass

  Someone at @billboard decided to give @TamikaDMallory an award for her activism. And then put Morgan Wallen on the same stage. Hard pass.
