"Although it may seem like it correlates because of the timeline, I have no evidence to believe the incident had anything to do with the recent marriage announcement," she stated.

"I cannot speak on Morgan’s behalf, but I do pray the very best for him. Praying this was just a slip-up and that he will return to the good path that he was on prior," Smith added.

The 'Last Night' singer's attorney Worrick Robinson issued a statement following the arrest.

"At 10:53 p.m. Sunday evening, Morgan Wallen was arrested in downtown Nashville for reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct," read the statement, adding that he is "cooperating fully with authorities."

Wallen was previously arrested in Nashville for public intoxication in 2020 after he was kicked out of a bar.

In 2021, the singer was criticized after a video clip surfaced showing him using a racial slur while intoxicated.

He then apologized for the issue and revealed that he checked into a rehabilitation center following the incident.

KT Smith's marriage announcement

The 'Wasted on You' singer's arrest took place days after his ex-fiancee revealed the news of her surprise engagement and announced her marriage.

Smith shared on March 30 that she and her boyfriend Luke Scornavacco got engaged on March 29 as she posted a picture of her posing with him and her son, Indigo, 3, whom she shares with Wallen.

"03/29/24: when dreams turned to reality. Also, shoutout @brilliantearth for leveling up what we ever thought a dream ring could be," she wrote.
