Katie Britt’s inspired by Morgan Wallen’s strange ‘SNL’ exit as she shows love for Crimson Tide
Katie Britt showcased her millennial bona fides — and her Crimson Tide ties — on Monday when Alabama’s junior U.S. senator participated in the social media trend sparked by Morgan Wallen’s awkward “Saturday Night Live” exit.
“Get me to God’s country,” Britt tweeted Monday night along with a photo of Bryant-Denny Stadium.
The tweet is a reference to Wallen’s bizarre “SNL” exit when he prematurely fled the stage after appearing as the show’s musical guest Saturday.
The country star then posted “Get me to God’s country” to his Instagram story.
Wallen’s appearance on Saturday’s “SNL” marked his second ever on the show.
TMZ reports, citing a source, that Wallen – a Tennessee native – had routinely exited the studio the same way during rehearsal when he thought it was time to go.
Britt, 43, is the youngest Republican female senator and the first woman to be elected senator from Alabama.
Britt has some ‘SNL’ history of her own.
After Britt’s 2024 State of the Union Republican response speech, Scarlet Johansson played her in an ‘SNL’ cold open.
“A bingo card of 2024 for Katie Britt, I did not have this on it, right? And certainly didn’t have Scarlett Johansson on it,” Britt said at the time.
