Kid Rock makes surprise cameo at Morgan Wallen's Cleveland concert | Watch
Morgan Wallen brought out Kid Rock as a surprise guest for his signature walk-out moment at Cleveland show.
Country star Morgan Wallen kicked off the Cleveland stop of his I’m the Problem tour with a special surprise. The 32-year-old singer known for his signature walk-out moments that often feature celebrity guest appearances, brought out none other than Kid Rock for the first night of his Huntington Bank Stadium shows.
The 54-year-old rocker walked out in style, in a long black-and-white fur coat with the words ‘Cowboy’ emblazoned on the back - a nod to his 1999 classic of the same name. The statement coat was paired with his signature white vest and blue jeans, accessorized with a brown, wide-brimmed hat and black shades. Wallen posted a video on Instagram, soundtracked by Rock’s “Cowboy”, that captures a dramatic handshake between the two musicians, before Rock shrugs off the coat and the pair run out into the cheering crowd. The post was captioned, “Cowboy, baby.”
A friendship years in the making
The surprise collaboration did not come out of nowhere. Earlier this year, Kid Rock raved enthusiastically about his connection with Wallen during an appearance on Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast. He revealed that Wallen helped co-write his hit track “Still Somethin’” from the 2022 album Bad reputation, alongside Mitchell Tenpenny, Andy Albert and Jordan Schmidt. Rock was thoroughly impressed by Wallen’s talent after listening to his demo:
