Ronnie Dunn is making light of some recent humorous backlash after the Country Music Hall of Famer was seen using a lyrical “cheat sheet” during his recent surprise performance with Morgan Wallen at the latter’s headlining concert in Miami on his I’m the Problem Tour on July 12. (Brooks & Dunn were openers on that night’s show.)
Dunn had joined Wallen to sing the latter’s 2018 song “Whiskey Glasses,” but eagle-eyed fans quickly spotted Dunn looking at the song’s lyrics on a piece of paper during the performance. He took responsibility for the performance and made light of the moment in a July 16 (Wednesday) Instagram post. A video showed behind-the-scenes footage of Dunn rehearsing the song’s lyrics.
“I’m going to sing a Morgan Wallen song that I don’t know,” he says in the clip, as the words “Ronnie = Dyslexic” were written over the video. The clip then shows Dunn pulling out the piece of paper with lyrics written on it and showing it to the camera. “If I can read it, then I’m OK,” he said. From there, the video showed performance clips of Brooks & Dunn’s opening set during the show.
Dunn captioned the video with, “Hell, I’m still learnin’ NEON MOON,” referring to B&D’s 1991 hit. “Love ‘Whiskey Glasses’…be patient… RD.” The caption also included the hashtags #papergate and #wheresthepaper.
Ahead, Brooks & Dunn will also be opening other shows on Wallen’s tour, including stops in Glendale, Ariz., on July 19; Seattle on July 26, Santa Clara, Calif., on Aug. 2; and two shows in Canada on Sept. 5 and 13.
