\n\tMorgan Wallen<\/a> continued his trend of making grand entrances with sports icons during the launch of his I\u2019m the Problem tour in Texas.<\/p>\n

\n\tBefore taking the stage at Houston\u2019s NRG Stadium on Friday (June 20), the 32-year-old country superstar made an electrifying entrance at the home of the NFL\u2019s Houston Texans. This time, he was joined by former Texans legend Andre Johnson.<\/p>\n

\n\tWallen and Johnson walked side by side as their moment was broadcast on the venue\u2019s jumbotrons, with Wallen\u2019s 2022 hit \u201cBroadway Girls\u201d featuring Lil Durk blasting through the speakers. In a surprise twist, Houston businessman and philanthropist Jim \u201cMattress Mack\u201d McIngvale \u2014 owner of Gallery Furniture and known for his massive sports bets \u2014 also joined the walkout.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe walkout moment, which has become a highlight at Wallen\u2019s shows \u2014 with previous guest appearances<\/a> including Travis Kelce, Troy Aikman, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady \u2014 was shared on Wallen\u2019s Instagram. Fellow country star Jelly Roll<\/a> couldn\u2019t help but react in the comments.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cJust when I think you can\u2019t goat yourself anymore \u2014 you bring out Mack in Houston- CRAZZYYYYY. Love you bubba,\u201d Jelly wrote.<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring his performance of \u201cI\u2019m the Problem\u201d on Friday, Wallen displayed a montage of negative headlines<\/a> on the video screen. As the song ended, he appeared to pour gasoline on the stage and mimed setting it ablaze. The track peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 earlier this year and held the top spot on Billboard\u2019s Country Airplay chart for eight weeks.<\/p>\n

\n\tWallen\u2019s concert at NRG Stadium marks the start of his 20-date I\u2019m the Problem tour, which runs through Sept. 13 and visits 10 cities. The trek features supporting acts Koe Wetzel, Miranda Lambert, Brooks & Dunn, Ella Langley, Gavin Adcock and Thomas Rhett.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI spend months at this point getting ready to get on tour, just getting in shape,\u201d Wallen recently told Apple Music Country. \u201cI don\u2019t have to be in any kind of crazy shape to record in the studio. With how big my stage is, how much I run around, and how much effort that me and the guys put into it, I don\u2019t think you would know that by just listening to the record.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe outing supports Wallen\u2019s chart-topping fourth studio album, I\u2019m the Problem, which has held the No. 1 spot<\/a> on the Billboard 200 for four consecutive weeks since its May 16 release.<\/p>\n
