“I Thought You Sounded Great”: Morgan Wallen Reassures Bailey Zimmerman After Crash My Playa Apology Video

Morgan Wallen has waded into the comments section of Bailey Zimmerman's social media apology video, after Zimmerman expressed his regret for an inebriated set at Crash My Playa 2025, during which he stumbled over and forgot certain lyrics.

The ‘Last Night’ chart-topper has spent much of the past two years out on the road with Zimmerman, who served as support for a plethora of his One Night At A Time world tour dates.

Bailey Zimmerman has regularly spoken about Morgan Wallen as a big brother of sorts, with Wallen again looking out for Zimmerman in the aftermath of his Crash My Playa backlash.

The Sneedville megastar, of course, is no stranger to controversy, so it's endearing to see Wallen attempting to pick up Zimmerman in the wake of this social media storm.

In response to Bailey Zimmerman's video, which finds him sincerely apologising for getting too drunk ahead of his much-maligned Pool Party performance, Morgan Wallen has seemingly reassured his buddy that it wasn't as bad as some followers have been making it out to be online, sharing, “I thought you sounded great”. Zimmerman quickly replied, “@morganwallen for sure not my best bub😅”.

A slew of other fellow artists have offered their support to Bailey Zimmerman, too, with RaeLynn gushing, “You have the best heart. Everyone makes mistakes ❤️”, while Chase Rice heartwarmingly comforted Zimmerman by stressing, “Been there dude. Learn from it and move on, proud of you for owning it, now go be the star you are”.

Immediately after his set, a number of ticket-holders for Luke Bryan's Crash My Playa Festival, which takes place every January in Cancun, Mexico, had been outlining their frustration with what they deemed to be a lack of professionalism from Bailey Zimmerman. Now the dust has settled, however, fans have been giving Zimmerman some grace and acknowledging that everyone make mistakes.

Since he uploaded his apology video, the ’Religiously’ hitmaker has returned to Instagram to emphasis his gratitude at how kind people have been, as well as hinting at new music.

Bailey Zimmerman touchingly outlined, “The amount of y’all that have commented, dm’d me, called me, txted me… telling me how much you care about me is unbelievable… thank yall truly. It really means the world knowing I’ve got so many people that have my back. Even when I mess up...This is just a bump in the road❤️”.

The ‘Holding On’ singer-songwriter went on to tease what's coming, “BUT here’s to 2025 and learning from our mistakes… I couldn’t be more excited about everything I’ve got coming for yall this year...My BDAY is the 27th… TURNIN 25🥳...The New To Country Tour is ALMOST sold out❤️🤜🤛...AND I’ve got some INSANE new music to show yall super soon🤟...Thanks for having my back❤️...Love yall for real”.

Bailey Zimmerman's 2025 New to Country Tour launches on June 6th in Indiana, with shows lined up across Missouri, Arkansas, Georgia, California, Colorado, New Hampshire, Nevada and more alongside Dylan Marlowe and Drew Baldridge.
