The "Whiskey Glasses" singer has a very cool connection to another country music singer, one who has already made it pretty big in the industry. Morgan Wallen and country legend Kenny Chesney went to the same high school: Gibbs High School in Corryton, Tennessee.
The coincidence certainly had a big impact on Wallen's confidence when he was beginning his career. "I would like to say 'thank you,'" Wallen said in a 2019 interview with 100.9 The Cat when he was asked what he would tell Chesney if he ever got the chance to talk to him. "When I was first starting out, and I'm still relatively fresh and new, it just seems like, 'Well this guy from my high school did it, so maybe there's a chance.'"
Wallen also said that he would like to perform a concert alongside Chesney as well as go to a Tennessee football game with him. And about a year later, the two did cross paths thanks to another connection — football player Peyton Manning. Manning first joined Chesney onstage at a concert in 2003, and they clearly got along. In 2020, Country Now reported that he invited Chesney and Wallen along with Cole Swindell, Luke Combs, and Jake Owen to hang out.
