Cry More, Morgan Wallen Fans

Morgan Wallen fans were big mad that Chris Stapleton's Starting Over won album of the year over Morgan at the CMA Awards last night. They cried and whined and called everybody liberals. While it’s probably true that the CMA voters weren’t willing to take the public relations hit of having Morgan Wallen win album of the year, Dangerous was not the best album in the category. For my money, that was Carly Pearce’s 29, with Stapleton coming in 2nd. Dangerous was slightly above mediocre in my book. Also, MW fans were under the assumption that the awards are based on sales. More does not equal better. Here’s a small sampling of the whinging going on.
