Take a look into the beloved singers past.
Zach Bryan is a singer songwriter from Oklahoma that rose to fame in 2022 with his song “Something in the Orange.” A mix of country and folk music is what makes his sounds so unique. Middle school was when he picked up the guitar and began to make music. He began posting his music online while he was in the military, once he started to gain traction he was honorably discharged to continue his music. His first two albums “American Heartbreak” and his 2023 self titled album reached top five on the Billboard 100. He’s been nominated for several country music awards and won New Male Artist of the Year in 2022.
Recently, Bryan has been in some hot waters. His first controversy came with his fans in 2022 while on tour. Fans had a problem with the insane ticket prices from the popular booking site “Ticketmaster.” He took to twitter telling his supporters that the next year he would do everything in his power to make tickets more affordable. However, by the next September, he turned back to ticketmaster.
“ARRESTED” was on all headlines in September of 2023 with Zach Bryans name attached. He was arrested in Oklahoma after a police officer pulled over one of his private security officers for speeding. Bryan got out of his car and when officers asked him to go back, he refused. His mug shot spread around social media like wildfire with many fans making jokes and supporting him. He took to his social media to apologize for his behavior.
He was again in the news recently for his break up with Briana Chickenfry. Zach Bryan had already been married once in 2020 but was soon single again after divorcing in 2021. Little information is known about his ex-wife but it’s rumored that the album “Elizabeth” was titled after her. In 2023 Briana and Zach turned to social media to make their relationship official after meeting each other backstage at an award show. In October, Bryan posted to instagram a lengthy paragraph about Briana and him splitting up. Later that week Briana posted a youtube video saying she was “completely blindsided” by the post and the breakup. In her youtube video titled, “love you guys, ill be back soon,” she explains how she found out about their break up. Briana states, “I just woke up to Zach posting on his Instagram that we broke up and I had no idea that post was going up. He didn’t text me, he didn’t call me. I just woke up to a bunch of texts, like, ‘Are you OK?’” Days after their split Bryan posted a picture of him in the studio getting ready for a new album.
The BFF podcast (hosted by Josh Richards and David Portnoy) dropped an episode on November 8th where Brianna Chickenfry admits that Bryan offered her 12 MILLION dollars to sign a NDA after their split. She also states she went through a year of narcissistic emotional abuse. Although little is known about the breakup more information comes out everyday as Brianna begins to share their horror stories. Fans posed the question, does Bryan cause chaos to create music?
