Morgan Wallen lit up Houston, literally, as he kicked off his I’m The Problem Tour with fire, pyro, and some serious self-reflection.

During the title track, he doused the stage in (fake) lighter fluid while headlines from his past scandals flashed on the screen.  Then he struck up a lighter and pretended to let it all burn.

Here are some of the headlines he was “setting fire” to:

1.  “Morgan Wallen Breaks COVID Mask Protocols.”  Which is a nod to his 2020 bar incident that initially cost him his “SNL” debut.

2.  A newspaper article calling him “America’s Problem”

3.  A fan commenting “His albums have too many songs.”

4.  And there was also a throwback to when he was snubbed for Entertainer of the Year at the CMAs in 2023.

And he brought out a couple local celebrities during his walkup, as is his custom:  Texans legend Andre Johnson . . . and gambling legend, Mattress Mack.

Jelly Roll said in the comments, “Just when I think you can’t G.O.A.T. yourself anymore . . . you bring out Mack in Houston.  CRAZY!”
