Country superstar Morgan Wallen thrilled a huge crowd at the Canadian Tire Centre on Thursday as part of his One Night at a Time world tour.
“I’ve been away from home for about two weeks now and moments like that make it worth it,” he added, taking a moment to bask in the applause. “This is my first time ever headlining a show in Ottawa so this will be my first impression, man.”
Of course, feeding the demand is Wallen’s chart-topping, third studio album, One Thing at a Time, which came out this year with a string of hits making it the most popular country-music album of the year. The bulk of Thursday’s setlist came from that album, as well as a few songs from each of his two previous releases and one well-chosen cover song: a heartfelt rendition of Jason Isbell’s Cover Me Up.
Between songs, Wallen had a lot to say about his roots and how he moved to Nashville to follow his dream of being a country music singer. He stuck to a non-political script, portraying himself as a simple guy who just wanted to sing about “things that mean a lot to me,” and was grateful that others related to his songs.
