And since we’re on the topic of Morgan Wallen, one of his 3 sisters, Mikaela Wallen, just posted a video of her singing the Animals’ song “House of the Rising Sun” and she sounds great. One fan said in the comments, “You should be on tour with your brother and dropping an album.” ~Maybe we’ll see this happen?!
She captioned the post, “Felt brave . . . might delete later.” But fans in the comments are loving it, and begging her not to delete it.
Check it out for yourself.
