Morgan Wallen shaved his head because he simply didn't like his long hair anymore. He mentioned during his One Night at a Time Tour in Columbus, Ohio, that this decision was about personal preference and a change he wanted. He had been considering shaving his head for a long time, recalling that he had a shaved head in high school and eventually got tired of his longer mullet hairstyle. This change was a fresh start for him, and he shared this directly with his fans at a concert, showing he was at peace with the new look despite mixed reactions from fans. He also hinted that this change might be temporary, as he later showed a buzz cut rather than a fully shaved head.
