Morgan Wallen's abrupt exit from "Saturday Night Live" has caused quite a stir on social media. But why did the country star leave the show early?

Country singer Morgan Wallen has sparked backlash after abruptly exiting the stage at the end of "SNL," failing to stick around for the full signoff.

Morgan Wallen was this weekend's musical guest on "Saturday Night Live," where he performed "I'm the Problem" and "Just in Case." However, the country singer was spotted whispering in host and Oscar-winning actress Mikey Madison's ear as she closed out the show onstage before he abruptly walked in front of the NBC camera and appeared to leave.
