This girl got so close to Zach Bryan she lost her mind…and got herself kicked out in the process.
Zach is currently out on the road for his massive Burn, Burn, Burn Tour, which has become one of the hottest tickets in country music as he sets packs arenas, shatters attendance records and sells out festivals during his first headlining arena tour.
So you’d think the fans who are lucky enough to get in would be on their best behavior. But I guess this woman just couldn’t help herself.
Video from Zach’s recent show at MVP Arena in Albany, New York shows Zach apparently being ushered off the stage before the encore, and walking through the crowd before returning to take the stage.
Fans on both sides of the aisle were reaching out to try to get a high-five from the superstar, but one woman was apparently a little too amped up from the show (and from being so close to Zach) and took it a little too far, trying to grab his guitar out of his hands as he walked by.
This didn’t sit well with Zach for obvious reasons, who turned back around and quickly directed his security to get the woman out of there before he returned to the stage for his encore.
@lukecasey14 When you try and take @Zach Bryan guitar and end up getting kicked out. Glad I was able to get this video! #MVPArena #ZacBryan #burnburnburntour ♬ original sound – Lucas Casey
Zach responded to the video, pointing out that he often gives out signed guitars to fans from the stage, but that this particular guitar that the fan tried to take was personal to him:
“I give J-45’s out at a lot of concerts.
The one in my hands when this happened was mine, my sweet ol’ gal, we’ve been everywhere together and written every song in the last few years together.
Took it personal, but nothing against whoever wound up getting kicked out.”
He also had a warning for other fans who try to take the guitar straight out of his hands:
“I don’t mind people being respectful and trying to touch me or the guitar, but if you try to rip it out of my hands I promise I’ll rip you out of whatever venue we’re at, respectfully, of course.”
Imagine being such a fan of Zach and then doing something so stupid when you finally get up close to him that he personally kicks you out.
Zach Bryan Breaks New Orleans’ Smoothie King Center Record With ‘Burn, Burn, Burn’ Tour
First arena tour and already smashing attendance records.
It’s hard to overstate what a meteoric rise Zach Bryan has had, when just a couple of years ago he was making YouTube videos sitting on the tailgate of his truck.
Since then he’s released his debut studio album, American Heartbreak, which immediately shot to the top of the charts and earned the most streams of any country album in a single day in 2022 on both Spotify and Apple Music.
He’s also gone from selling out bars and clubs to playing in front of 30,000 people at sold-out festivals, and now he’s on his first headlining arena tour, the Burn, Burn, Burn Tour.
Well Zach’s clearly not done setting records, because that’s just what he did during a recent tour stop in New Orleans.
The Burn, Burn, Burn Tour rolled into the Smoothie King Center, home of the New Orleans Pelicans, recently. And with it, 17,000 fans came along to shatter the concert attendance record in the building and add another impressive milestone to Zach’s already extensive resumé.
For some context on just how impressive it is that Zach was able to break the Smoothie King Center’s attendance record, Billy Joel drew over 16,000 fans during a stop at the arena in 2017. That same year, Jay-Z bragged (mistakenly) that he had officially broken the attendance record with a crowd of just over 13,000.
Now I don’t know how much you know about the city of New Orleans, but it’s not exactly a hotbed of country music. Rap, hip-hop and jazz are the usual draws in a city that’s known for its eclectic music tastes.
So for a country artist like Zach to come in and draw a record-breaking crowd at a venue that’s hosted more than its fair share of major acts over the years is more than impressive: It’s almost mind-boggling.
But then again, a lot about Zach’s meteoric rise has been mind-boggling. So maybe we shouldn’t be surprised at anything he does from here on out.
Just look at that crowd…
