Tom Brady and Mike Tyson walk out Morgan Wallen at his Las Vegas concert a week after Travis Kelce joins singer

Morgan Wallen enlisted two sports legends — Tom Brady and Mike Tyson — to walk him to the stage at his Las Vegas concert Friday night.

In a video that played for cheering fans ahead of the show’s start, the country star met up with the seven-time Super Bowl champion and gave him a brotherly hug before shaking the boxing icon’s hand and exchanging some friendly words with him.

As the trio continued toward the stage, the Wallen, 31, bounced around as he pumped himself up for his concert at Allegiant Stadium, which was part of his ongoing One Night at at Time World Tour.

The “Thinkin’ Bout Me” singer seemingly had some friendly chatter with Brady, 47, and then hugged him one more time before making his way onto the stage.

Notably, he rocked a jersey for Maxx Crosby, who is a defensive end for the Las Vegas Raiders.

Brady is currently in talks to purchase a minority stake in the NFL team and reportedly offered owner Mark Davis $175 million last fall.

Brady and Tyson weren’t the first sports stars to walk with Wallen before the start of his concert, though.

The “Whiskey Glasses” singer invited Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes to do the honor ahead of his show at the Kansas City Chiefs’ Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., on Aug. 3.

Wallen sparked a lot of social media chatter when he wore Harrison Butker’s jersey number, although his rep exclusively told Page Six that the No. 7 was just the singer’s baseball number growing up.

In May, Butker came under fire for his commencement speech at Benedictine College, in which he told graduating women that they will truly start their lives when they become wives and mothers.

The Chiefs kicker, 29, has since doubled down on his remarks and lamented that Catholic values are “hated” by many.

Earlier this week, Butker told reporters his comments — which also included criticism of Pride Month as a “deadly sin” — came from “a place of love.”

Wallen’s One Night at a Time Tour kicked off on April 4 — just days before he was arrested on felony charges in Nashville for throwing a chair off the roof of Eric Church’s bar, Chief’s.

The “Wasted on You” singer said in a statement on April 19 that he was “not proud” of his behavior and that he has the “utmost respect for the officers working every day to keep us all safe.”

An insider told People at the time that his outburst was influenced by his ongoing drinking problem.
