PITTSBURGH — In early February 2021, which already seems like an eternity ago, Joe Biden had just taken office and was trying to pass a $1.8 trillion relief bill, people were scrambling to get the new COVID vaccine and Tom Brady was about to contend for his seventh Super Bowl ring.
Most Americans didn’t know Morgan Wallen from Morgan Freeman and may not have even noticed that he was in the process of being canceled.
Wallen, a former contender on “The Voice” who sings like he has a wad of tobacco in his cheek, had a No. 1 country hit in 2017 with “Whiskey Glasses,” a rousing single from his double-platinum debut “If I Know Me.” He’d been through Pittsburgh three times, across 2018 and 2019, in opening slots for Luke Bryan, Luke Combs and Florida Georgia Line.
