While performing one of his hit songs, women in the crowd threw their bras on stage. Wallen picked up a red one and carried it around on stage with him.
Fans couldn’t help but joke around after seeing the video, with one TikTok user claiming, “That’s the size he likes.”
“Does he realize he is still holding that bra? Lol,” another said.

Does Morgan Wallen Have A Drinking Problem?
Wallen's recent arrest has sparked concerns about his relationship with alcohol, with some fans bringing up past incidents. One source, who is close to the singer, revealed he does, in fact, struggle with the moderation of alcohol.
"Morgan is generally a nice, fun person to hang out with, but when he gets going he doesn't know when to stop," the insider told PEOPLE Magazine. "Morgan and alcohol [are] a problem, and it's been a problem that keeps coming back around."

Morgan Wallen Goes To Rehab
In a past interview, Morgan Wallen discussed attending a 30-day rehab treatment program.
“That used to be my warm-up — to get half-lit: ‘I’m going out there, and we’re going to go have fun.’ Now, that is not the way I approach it,” he told Billboard. “I used to be scared to even think about what it would be like to play a show without drinking: ‘That sounds terrible. Why would I ever do that?’ And now I’m almost scared to wonder what it’d be like if I was drunk."
Many of his songs are about alcohol and drinking, including his hit 'Born with a Beer in My Hand,' where he seemingly references his sobriety, mentioning that alcohol will "be the death" of him.
The lyrics are as follows: "Everybody says it's gonna be the death of me / But these days I’m livin' on the side of alive / Just 'cause I smile through my sobriеty / Don't mean it ain't chillin' in the back of my mind / I ain't sayin' I swore it off for good / I’m just sayin’ I'm doin’ thе best I can / But what do you expect from a redneck? / Hell, I was born with a beer in my hand.”
