Morgan Wallen is looking back. ET's Cassie DiLaura traveled to the 29-year-old singer's hometown of Corryton, Tennessee, to accompany him on a visit to his former high school, and things quickly got emotional when Wallen stepped out onto his old baseball field.«I spent a lot of time on this field,» Wallen tells ET, adding that «this place right here played a huge part in making me who I am.»The visit to the field was Wallen's first time back in a long time, and he tearfully admits that he was «pretty emotional» about his return.«It's important to me.

I never thought that I would be able to do this. I had dreams of playing baseball. My life obviously took a different turn for the better, God had different plans, but it's cool to come back here,» he says. «We had a good team.

We had a very close-knit team. I love my coach. He's still a coach. It's just a lot of good things that run through my head when I step on this field, so it makes me probably more proud than almost anything.»Wallen's visit to his alma mater was for more than a walk down memory lane; the singer was there to perform at an album release party for his third LP,.

The attendees at the hometown concert were the current high school seniors. «I guess that's my senior gift to the them,» Wallen says.«They came to us with this idea,» Wallen tells ET of Spotify, who presented the show. «I can't even take credit for it.
