Though the piano stopped working, Morgan finished the song.

​However, the calm moment took a turn when Morgan returned to the instrument after his performance and shoved the upright piano and then flipped it over, causing visible damage.

​The unexpected moment caused mixed reactions from the crowd; some were cheering, while some were shocked, according to viral videos shared on TikTok.

​Fans rushed to social media, with many speculating about what may have gone wrong.

​One fan wrote, "What I say is a passionate perfectionist that wants to give all of his fans the best possible concert given that they have paid out the kazoo for his tickets, and not to mention for this to happen on one of his most iconic songs, I don’t blame him for getting a tad bit angry. RIP OG piano!"

​Another commented, "I blame the full moon for all the kinks."

​"I hope we get a piano for night 2," a third fan joked.

​Wallen has not publicly addressed the incident, and his representative did not immediately comment on the matter.

​This came two years after Morgan was arrested for throwing a chair from the rooftop of a Nashville bar. He later pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges related to the incident.
