A Night To Remember: Country Legends & Morgan Wallen Share The Stage In Miami
During his I’m The Problem Stadium Tour stop in Miami, Morgan Wallen gave his fans more than they bargained for when he invited country music legends Brooks & Dunn on stage for a surprise performance of his fan-favorite hit “Whiskey Glasses.”
The collaboration immediately made headlines and set social media ablaze — not just for the music, but for the light-hearted moment involving a “cheat sheet” Ronnie Dunn pulled out mid-performance.
The Miami Shows That Delivered More Than Expected
Morgan Wallen’s two-night run of sold-out shows in Miami brought together some of the biggest names in country music. The first night featured Miranda Lambert and Gavin Adcock, with Miranda joining Wallen on stage for a heartfelt rendition of “Cowgirls.” Gavin returned for night two, teaming up with Wallen for a high-energy performance of “Up Down.”
But it was the unexpected arrival of Brooks & Dunn on night two that stole the show. Their surprise appearance during “Whiskey Glasses” sent the crowd into a frenzy. Though Ronnie Dunn appeared to need a little lyrical backup — pulling a cheat sheet from his pocket during the song — the moment was met with laughter and cheers from both the audience and the artists themselves.
Neither Ronnie Dunn nor Kix Brooks took center stage vocally, but their presence alone brought undeniable energy and authenticity to the performance.
A History Of Collaboration Between Morgan Wallen & Brooks & Dunn

According to Kix Brooks, Wallen was adamant about staying true to the original:
“He said he didn’t want to mess with it. I guess in his opinion, it was already done.”
The result was a collaboration that honored the timeless appeal of the original while showcasing Wallen’s respect for the genre’s roots.
