Morgan Wallen alarmed fans on Wednesday evening (Sept. 3) when he shared a photo of himself that appeared to have been taken after a pretty grisly accident.
In the picture, he’s riding what appears to be some form of Kawasaki-brand bike or electric bike.
But he seems to have taken a spill: One side of Wallen’s body is covered in scrapes, gashes and road rash, with rips in his jeans, shirt and one sleeve.
He also appears to have sustained some injuries to his face, with a deep gash on one cheek.
See the photo on Instagram.
Wallen didn’t explain his injuries in his social media post, but did comment, “Interesting bye week lol.”

Did Morgan Wallen Get in a Bike Accident?
Some fans thought so. In the comments section of his post, several chimed in to share their concern and well-wishes.
“I wrecked mine toooo but NOT THAT BAD. Heal up Morgie we love you,” one wrote.

Could Morgan Wallen’s Bloody Photo Be Staged?
Several commenters on Wallen’s post thought there could be more to this photo than meets the eye.
They put on their detective hats and turned up some sneaky clues from the photo suggest that Wallen didn’t suffer a real fall. His bike was too clean, for example, and his hair was perfectly, messily styled.
Others noted that the holes and rips in the singer’s clothing were too perfect to have been caused by a real injury. Plus, while his clothing and skin were banged up, his boots weren’t scuffed at all.
The photo Wallen posted also appears to be professionally shot, suggesting that it could have been taken during a photo or video shoot.
What Else Could Morgan Wallen Be Working On?
The predominant theory in the comments section is that Wallen’s blood and bruises could actually be makeup for a music video he’s filming.
“Tell me it’s the music video for ‘I Got Better,'” one fan wrote.
A few other fans also shared that theory. “I Got Better” is a track off I’m the Problem, and Wallen released it as a radio single in mid-June.
Wallen described it to Billboard as “one of my most personal songs on the entire record.” Its lyrics are about living well after an ex’s departure, but Wallen says that more generally, it’s about unfettering yourself from any situation that’s no longer serving you.
“It wasn’t necessarily a relationship with another human,” he said. “It could have been a relationship with anything in your life that’s holding you back, and the only thing that you did was eliminate that, and everything became clearer in your life.”
When Does Morgan Wallen Play the Next Stop on His I’m the Problem Tour?
Wallen’s tour picks up again on Thursday night (Sept. 4) with back-to-back nights in Toronto, Ontario.
He’ll remain in Canada for the final week of the trek, finishing up with two stops in Edmonton, Alberta.
