In the unique moment, Morgan, 31, put on a show at the US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
The concert was part of his One Night At A Time Tour, which he’s playing internationally.
In a video shared on Instagram, Morgan was filmed walking down a runway to get closer to the audience.
The Tennessee native covered his hair with a baseball cap, and wore a black shirt paired with tight pants and cowboy boots.
Morgan crouched down by the concertgoers, and almost immediately had a blue thong thrown into his face.
The musician quickly caught the panties in one hand and held onto them for a few seconds as he stood up and moved to the other side of the runway.
He then quickly flung the thong back into the crowd in the opposite direction it came from.
STRONG ARM
Morgan’s thong throw comes just a couple of months after he was arrested for a different throwing incident.
On April 7, he was arrested and charged with three felony counts after throwing a chair from a bar rooftop.
The chair ended up landing very close to police officers standing on the pavement outside Chief’s Bar on Broadway in Nashville.

He was detained at the premises, and charged with three counts of reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct.
According to an insider, Morgan’s actions came after he heard that his ex-fiancée, KT Smith, 29, had secretly gotten married to her new man Luke Scornavacco, 22.
“KT’s marriage to Luke last week just crushed him. Of course he knew they were engaged and eventually going to get married – but eloping just days after they got engaged?
“Morgan has never gotten over her even though he couldn’t stay faithful to her. And now another man is going to be raising his son,” the celebrity source claimed at the time.

“Whatever happened at that bar had to be reality hitting him in the face over losing the love of his life.”
SHUT DOWN
While Morgan got into trouble at one bar, he’s almost finished construction on his own watering hole.
The bar, called Morgan Wallen’s This Bar, was photographed by The U.S. Sun having final touches made to the exterior of the building.
A banner outside the site also announced that it is set to open this summer.
After his arrest, however, the Nashville Council rejected Morgan’s plans for a 20-foot-tall advertisement for the bar.
“I don’t want to see a billboard up with the name of a person who’s throwing chairs off of balconies and who is saying racial slurs,” said council member Delishia Porterfield.
