Morgan Wallen brought some serious star power to his Las Vegas concert on Friday night, enlisting the help of sports legends Tom Brady and Mike Tyson to walk him out to the stage.
The country music star, who is currently on his One Night at a Time World Tour, thrilled fans at Allegiant Stadium with the unexpected appearance of the seven-time Super Bowl champion and the iconic boxing heavyweight.
In a video that played for the cheering crowd before the concert began, Wallen, 31, was seen greeting Brady with a brotherly hug and shaking hands with Tyson. The trio exchanged some friendly words as they made their way through the backstage area, with Wallen visibly excited as he prepared to take the stage. The singer could be seen bouncing around, clearly pumped up for the night’s performance.
As they approached the stage, Wallen shared another hug with Brady, 47, before making his grand entrance. Notably, Wallen sported a Maxx Crosby jersey, paying tribute to the Las Vegas Raiders’ defensive end. This choice of attire was particularly fitting, given Brady’s recent involvement with the Raiders; the former NFL quarterback is currently in discussions to purchase a minority stake in the team, having reportedly offered owner Mark Davis $175 million last fall.

While the presence of Brady and Tyson added to the night’s excitement, it wasn’t the first time Wallen had enlisted the help of sports stars for his concert entrances. Just a week earlier, the “Whiskey Glasses” singer had Kansas City Chiefs stars Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes accompany him on stage at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. During that appearance, Wallen sparked social media buzz by wearing a jersey with the number 7—associated with Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker. However, Wallen’s rep later clarified that the number was actually his own baseball number growing up.
Butker has been a figure of controversy recently, particularly following his commencement speech at Benedictine College in May, where he made remarks about traditional gender roles and criticized Pride Month. His comments sparked widespread debate, but Butker defended his stance, stating that his remarks were made “from a place of love” and that he feels Catholic values are often misunderstood.
Wallen’s One Night at a Time Tour, which kicked off on April 4, has had its share of headlines as well. Just days before the tour began, Wallen was arrested on felony charges in Nashville after an incident where he allegedly threw a chair off the roof of Eric Church’s bar, Chief’s.
Following the arrest, Wallen issued a public statement on April 19, expressing regret for his actions and emphasizing his respect for law enforcement. Sources at the time suggested that his behavior was influenced by ongoing struggles with alcohol.
Despite these challenges, Wallen’s tour continues to draw massive crowds, and his ability to attract high-profile names like Brady and Tyson only adds to the buzz surrounding his performances.
As he continues to navigate both his personal and professional life, Wallen remains a central figure in the country music scene, captivating fans with both his music and his headline-making moments.
