In addition to the star-studded cameo, Wallen performed with country artists Lainey Wilson and Brooks & Dunn. However, the concert was not without controversy. Wallen wore a customized Kansas City Chiefs jersey with the number 7, which is also worn by the team’s kicker, Harrison Butker. Butker had recently sparked controversy with remarks against abortion and the LGBTQ+ community during a commencement speech at Benedictine College. Wallen’s choice to wear the jersey, despite having his name on the back, drew mixed reactions from fans.
Despite the jersey controversy, the concert was a major hit with attendees, who enjoyed the blend of music and sports star power. Wallen’s ability to bring together different entertainment worlds highlighted the unique and memorable experience for his fans. The event underscored the strong connection between the Kansas City Chiefs players and their local supporters, as well as Wallen’s appeal to a broad audience.
