Morgan Wallen is the biggest country star on the planet.
Shane McAnally is one of the most sought after songwriters in Nashville.
They’ve even written together before, on the Wallen hit “7 Summers.”
So why won’t McNally work with Wallen now?
In an interview with “Billboard” magazine, McAnally admitted there’s “a gap in political views” at play with some in Nashville, and Morgan specifically.
While Morgan keeps his politics to himself, at least with the public, McAnally seems to think that the divide for those two is definitely a bridge too far.
On top of that, Morgan is apparently too popular and too well-established for McAnally to want to write with him at this point.
“I have always had the most fun and the most success with things that I saw through from the beginning. I was there right when Kacey Musgraves came to Nashville. I was there when Sam Hunt came to Nashville. I was so enamored with what we were making because it was new, and we didn’t know if they were ever going to have success. I’m trying to get back to that.”
