Karoline Leavitt was spotted enjoying a Morgan Wallen performance over the weekend, despite the country artist's controversial past.
The 28-year-old mother-of-two shared images from the concert on her Instagram Story on Monday, July 20. In one photograph, Karoline beamed alongside two companions, with concert-goers visible behind them. She sported a red knitted halter neck top, white trousers and her trademark cross necklace, choosing a natural makeup aesthetic.
Another image captured Karoline observing the performance beside one of her companions as they anticipated Morgan's arrival on stage. This follows recent reports that 'stressed' Leavitt 'cracked' when confronted with a particular question regarding Donald Trump.

The photographs were initially posted by Karoline's friend, who wrote in the caption, "@ellalangleymusic x @morganwallen with some of my favorite people," reports the Mirror US.
Though the group appeared to enjoy themselves at the event, not everyone was supportive. One individual remarked on the Instagram upload, "Out of touch much?!" Another contributed, "May Jesus find you and take your soul back from the devil's grip," while a third commenter posted, "Look at those stuck Botox faces."
"Not bad once you wipe away the fake orange tan stuck to their lips usually," another person suggested. A fifth detractor stated, "KKKAROLINE's joker grin is so off putting. Y'all are the devil incarnate."
Karoline's backing of Morgan arrives amid ongoing controversies that have followed the country star throughout recent years. The most recent incident occurred during a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, performance on June 5, when Morgan snatched a cellphone from a security guard who was filming the show and hurled it away.
The security guard is understood to have been capturing footage for a fan who had anticipated Morgan would take the phone and keep recording. Instead, the 33-year-old seized the device and tossed it aside.
Morgan generated additional criticism on May 29 during a Denver performance, with the singer booting over a piano following technical difficulties. The instrument subsequently fell to pieces.
Last year, Morgan also faced backlash for his Saturday Night Live appearance. The I Had Some Help hitmaker served as musical guest on the program last March, but created controversy when he unexpectedly departed the stage during the sign-off.
Usually, the cast and musical guest remain on stage to bid farewell as the credits roll. Morgan, however, left immediately after host Mikey Madison said goodbye.
Mikey and the remaining cast members stayed on stage as the credits aired. Morgan subsequently posted to his Instagram Story following the episode, sharing an image of a plane with the caption, "Get me to God's country."
Morgan has also encountered legal issues. He faced three counts of reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon and one count of disorderly conduct after throwing a chair from the rooftop of Chief's, a Nashville bar, in April 2024.
The singer pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor counts of reckless endangerment, reduced from the three Class E felonies he originally faced. He spent seven days in a DUI education center and is currently completing supervised probation.
