Does Morgan Wallen’s Big Weekend Bring Him Closer to True Pop Stardom?


This Greatest Pop Stars podcast looks at Morgan Wallen after the release of his 'I'm the Problem' album & the debut of his Sand in My Boots festival.

On this week’s Pop Star Performance Review episode of the Greatest Pop Stars podcast, host Andrew Unterberger talks to the great music and culture writer Meaghan Garvey – who has not only already spent many hours with I’m the Problem(even reviewing the album for Pitchfork), but who also flew down to Gulf Shores for the first-ever Sand in My Boots festival. Meaghan shares her experiences at the sunny, friendly and largely conflict-free fest — which she also brilliantly recapped for us at Billboard earlier in the week — as well as some of her takeaways from Wallen’s 37-track latest. Is it actually strangely logical that Real Estate and The War on Drugs would be a major part of a Wallen-curated music festival?
