Halfway through the Sept. 22 show, Wallen left the main stage at Neyland for a B-stage near the opposite end zone for an intimate interlude.

Morgan Wallen and Eric Church wowed the crowd with a special collaboration. But first, the hometown hero talked about how Church changed his life.

Morgan Wallen pulled out all the stops during his homecoming gig at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tenn., on Friday night (Sept. 20). The country superstar walked out to the stage with the champion Tennessee Vols, and he also invited Eric Church to the stage for a collaboration.

The former Hootie and the Blowfish frontman was Wallen’s second surprise musical guest of the night and the third of the weekend.

Rubbing it in after Blake picked the Vols to lose? Blake Shelton was the guest picker on College GameDay yesterday, and the Oklahoma native picked his home state Oklahoma Sooners to beat the Tennessee Volunteers in one of the biggest games of this young college football season.

Bringing out the big guns for night one. Morgan Wallen is in Knoxville for two shows at Neyland Stadium, no doubt the highlight of his career as a diehard fan of the Tennessee Volunteers. And he clearly went all out for these shows.
