Morgan Wallen is hit in the face by THONG underwear thrown by overzealous fan in shock moment during Minneapolis concert
Morgan Wallen was hit in the face by a fan’s thong during a recent performance in Minneapolis.
The 31-year-old singer, who recently beat Taylor Swift’s record for most weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart, was hit in the face with the underwear at US Bank Stadium.
Video of the incident shows the singer belting out I Had Some Help, grabbing the offending panties and quickly throwing them into the crowd on the other side of the US Bank Stadium stage.
The award-winning artist is in the middle of his One Night at a Time tour, which will take him across North America and Europe with concerts through September 8.

The artist has not commented on the incident as he recently deleted his Instagram account.
Throwing objects at performers during concerts is nothing new, but has sometimes taken on a dangerous tone.
Last summer, Wallen was signing autographs when an impatient fan threw a boot at him for his autograph and he instead threw the shoes in the opposite direction.
Bebe Rexha suffered a black eye and needed stitches for a cut on her eyebrow last summer when she was hit by a cell phone that a fan threw on stage during a show in New York last year.
The suspect, Nicolas Malvagna, was charged with assault.
Upon his arrest, the then 27-year-old said: ‘I was trying to see if I could hit her with the phone at the end of the show because that would be funny.’
Rolling stone reported that the charges could be dropped if he completed 40 days of community service.
Malvagna must also comply with a six-month restraining order requiring him to stay away from Rexha.

In the meantime, Wallen is focusing on other things on his to-do list.
The Cowgirls artist recently donated $100,000 to renovate the baseball fields he played on as a child in his native Tennessee.
The changes to the New Market and Jefferson City fields include a new press boss, more fencing and outfield wall options and repairs to make both safer, according to the Morgan Wallen Foundation.
The charity also recently donated money for a Tennessee high school band to replace one of its drum sets.
