Morgan Wallen rocked the stage in Kansas City on Friday night, entertaining a raucous crowd at Arrowhead Stadium.

Wallen brought out the stars for his show, surprising the crowd with performances by Lainey Wilson and Brooks & Dunn, but nothing got the fans on their feet like bringing out some Super Bowl champions.

The country music star walked to the stage with Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Chris Jones, all while rocking a No. 7 jersey, the number of controversial kicker Harrison Butker.

People praised Wallen for standing up for Butker, who has received backlash online for various comments, but it wasn't quite what it seemed.

While many fans claimed Wallen was wearing a "Butker jersey," it was a customized jersey with "Wallen" written across the back.

Wallen often wears custom No. 7 jerseys at his concerts, because it was his baseball number from his high school playing days at Gibbs High School in Tennessee.

I’m going to hold your hand when I say this … Morgan Wallen played baseball in high school at Gibbs High School in TN. His jersey was #7 He has custom jerseys made for concerts. 1st pic was tonight. It Says WALLEN.
