Morgan Wallen delighted concertgoers by inviting Kid Rock onstage during the opening night of his I’m the Problem Tour at Cleveland’s Huntington Bank Stadium.
The 32-year-old country sensation made a show-stopping entrance on August 15, arriving alongside 54-year-old Kid Rock, who sported a bold fur coat emblazoned with “Cowboy” for the sold-out premiere.
The unforgettable moment was immortalized on Wallen’s Instagram, set to Rock’s 1999 classic “Cowboy.” In the backstage clip, the pair share a warm greeting—Rock in his signature wide-brimmed hat, dark sunglasses, white tank top and jeans—before striding out together, concluding with Wallen embracing Rock as the crowd roared.
“Cowboy, baby,” Wallen captioned the post.
These grand entrance collaborations have become a hallmark of Wallen’s shows, with past guest appearances from Drake, Travis Kelce, Troy Aikman, David Spade, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady.
Earlier this year on Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast, Kid Rock reflected on his early connection with Wallen. Discussing “Still Somethin’” from his 2022 album Bad Reputation, he revealed that Wallen co-wrote the track alongside Mitchell Tenpenny, Andy Albert and Jordan Schmidt.
“This was before Morgan Wallen became a household name. I remember hearing the demo and thinking, ‘Who the hell is this?’ That was Morgan Wallen.”
Since then, their friendship has deepened. At Wallen’s Houston concert in June, he honored Rock by wearing a Kid Rock T-shirt and making his entrance with Drake and MLB legend Roger Clemens.
Wallen’s album I’m the Problem recently notched its 10th nonconsecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
