Morgan Wallen is getting a warm welcome as he returns to the house after a year away.

Morgan was all smiles Monday night at the Academy of Country Music Awards, he was sitting right in the thick of the ceremony at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, looking good and getting a lot of hugs.

Morgan was banned from a lot of award shows last year after video surfaced of Wallen using the n-word.

Morgan was welcomed back to country radio and the award circuit. He got a lot of love when he was a surprise guest at an Eric Church concert.

The two collaborated on a song together, and Durk says Morgan is not a racist.

The bottom line. Morgan is back to his old self.
