Morgan Wallen is sitting out the Grammys this time around.
The country superstar has chosen not to submit his new album, I’m the Problem, for consideration at the 2026 Grammy Awards, PEOPLE confirms.
Released earlier this year, the album quickly soared to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and produced multiple hit singles, cementing Wallen’s status as one of the biggest names in country music.
While the 31-year-old singer hasn’t shared an official reason for opting out of the Grammy race, a source tells PEOPLE that Wallen is “completely focused on his fans, touring, and creating new music,” rather than the award show circuit.
The decision follows years of mixed feelings between Wallen and the Recording Academy. Despite his massive commercial success, the singer has had a complicated history with the Grammys — and this latest move suggests he’s prioritizing his own path.
Still, skipping Grammy consideration won’t slow Wallen down. His One Night at a Time Tour continues to sell out stadiums nationwide, and fans are already anticipating what’s next from the “Last Night” hitmaker.
