dailyloe.com – Country singer Ella Langley faced online backlash after announcing a duet with Morgan Wallen, prompting her fans to rally in her defense. The 26-year-old Alabama native and Wallen, 32, collaborated on the song ‘I Can’t Love You Anymore,’ set for release on Friday. Langley debuted as an opener on Wallen’s ‘Still The Problem Tour’ in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, on Saturday. She later returned to the stage where they announced the collaboration and performed the duet for the first time.
Social media users expressed fury at Langley for teaming up with Wallen following the reveal. Some critics slammed both singers over their purported political beliefs, accusing them of being ‘MAGA.’ One X user wrote, ‘Now that she’s collabing with Morgan Wallen we can assume she’s MAGA so wdc [what the crap].’ Another critic chimed in, ‘Did you think a country singer from Alabama was not going to be MAGA? Hell Morgan Wallen is likely less right wing than her.’
Further criticism included one user stating, ‘Casting a curse on ella langley for collabing with morgan wallen.’ Another social media user commented, ‘She’s friends with and collabing with Morgan Wallen. A known racist and maga.’ One wrote, ‘Hitler and Stalin announce collab.’ Langley had previously been an opening act during Wallen’s ‘I’m the Problem Tour’ last year.
However, many fans of Langley and Wallen swiftly came to their defense online. One fan wrote, ‘Morgan Wallen is not even MAGA. He’s rejected invitations to perform for Trump. He even indicates in an album track that he doesn’t support either party lol.’ Another X user replied, ‘There is No need for explanations for they hear nothing you say and are just blinded by some sort of sickness.’
Another supporter added, ‘Keep up the good work MW and Ella! I thought both had great music way before their popularity grew.’ The defense from fans highlighted a division in online reaction to the new musical collaboration between the two country artists.
