Introduction
Morgan Wallen kept the excitement high on the opening night of his two-night headlining run at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin, by bringing out a surprise guest for a sizzling duet. On Saturday, June 28, the country star welcomed fellow artist Ella Langley to the stage, delivering an unexpected performance that instantly became a talking point among fans.
The duo teamed up to perform “What I Want,” a fan-favorite track from Wallen’s ambitious 37-song album I’m The Problem. While the original version features pop star Tate McRae, Langley—who has been touring alongside Wallen for select dates—stepped in to sing the female parts, giving the R&B-tinged country song a fresh and dynamic twist.
The surprise duet was captured on video by concertgoers, and the footage quickly circulated on TikTok, sparking mixed reactions from fans. Some praised the vocal pairing, calling their performance “really good” and expressing that “she can sing with anyone.” Others, however, noted a lack of onstage chemistry, with one commenter stating, “Love them both but gotta say their onstage chemistry is terrible,” and another echoing, “Their voices are great, but chemistry is not there.”
Despite the divided opinions, some viewers were enchanted by the connection between Wallen and Langley. Comments such as “How he looks at her 😍” and “It’s like a first date” highlighted the palpable energy shared during their collaboration. Fans speculated on the potential spark between the two, with one saying, “If they date and Morgan doesn’t treat her like a queen, he’d be in huge trouble because she’s a dolly.”
Langley wasn’t the only special guest to join Wallen onstage. Miranda Lambert, who opened the show, also appeared alongside Wallen for a powerful performance of “Cowgirls,” adding to the night’s electrifying atmosphere.
The concert marked a significant milestone as the first live show at Camp Randall Stadium in 30 years. The University of Wisconsin-Madison football stadium last hosted major concerts in 1997 with iconic performances from The Rolling Stones and U2.
Morgan Wallen is set to return to the stage for the second night on Sunday, June 29, promising another high-energy performance for eager fans in Madison. With surprise guests and memorable moments already delivered on night one, the anticipation for night two is higher than ever.
