After starting the year on a sour note, Morgan Wallen is ending 2021 on the type of high few could have foreseen.

Back in February, the Country music star saw his career all-but-canceled after a clip of him using the N-Word went viral.

In the immediate aftermath, his music was pulled from the radio, award nominations were rescinded, his management pact dissolved, and his record deal was deemed “indefinitely suspended.”
