Wallen's haircut followed a massive donation he recently made. Through his Morgan Wallen Foundation, the "Last Night" singer donated $500,000 toward Parkwood Community Club, the revitalization of the historic Black baseball and softball complex in north Nashville.
Wallen joined forces with Major League Baseball & MLB Players Association Youth Development Foundation, who donated an additional $500,000, for a total $1 million invested into the project.

"I started the Morgan Wallen Foundation to support youth in two areas — sports and music," Wallen said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital. "When I heard about Parkwood, right here in Nashville, I knew I wanted to help."
Morgan's passion was baseball prior to his singing career.
He was a pitcher at Gibbs High School in Tennessee, which boasts famous graduates who include Kenny Chesney, Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne and country singer Ashley Monroe. His sports career ended his senior year, though, when he injured the ulnar collateral ligament in an elbow and set his sights on music.
