The Heartwarming Story Behind Morgan Wallen's Mullet

A chip off the old block.

As it turns out, Morgan Wallen's trademark mullet is a nod to his father's early style. "When my dad was my age, he had a mullet, and I wanted to try it," the "Wasted On You" crooner explained to People in October 2019. "I went back home to my parent's house for a holiday, and I ended up looking at photo albums, just trying to take a trip down memory lane," he recalled. "When they got married, my dad had a mullet. Me and my dad are very similar people — he's one of my best friends — so I was like, 'Man, if Dad could do it, I will do it.'" 

And that he did. "God bless you @MorganWallen for bringing back the mullet look and making it popular again...guys be lookin soooooo fine when they have one," one Twitter user penned in praise of Wallen making Tennessee top hats fashion-forward again. Alas, not everyone is a fan...
