Maybe he just thought “Last Night” was overplayed?
Who knows…
Unless you live under a rock, you’ve probably heard all about Zach Bryan’s breakup with Barstool Sports personality Brianna Chickenfry… she aired a lot of their dirty laundry, so to speak, on her BFF’s podcast last year, dropping the bombshell that she was apparently offered $12 MILLION to sign and NDA and never talk about what really happened, but she ultimately decided to turn it down and honestly hasn’t stopped talking about it since.
And I mean, she REALLY hasn’t stopped talking about it. Gotta get her money’s worth I guess…
She recently shared a wild story where she alleges that Zach slept with a married woman while they were dating, and then called her the next morning to pick her up an supposedly blamed it Brianna. But back when she first started dishing on the relationship, Bri recalled an alleged fight they had over country music’s other mega star Morgan Wallen, who is currently dominating the entire genre, and music industry as a whole.
He had the highest-selling country tour of all-time this year with his One Night At A Time World Tour, and has been scoring #1 hits all year long on both country and Top 40 charts. While Zach is obviously a huge star right now too, absolutely no one is on Morgan’s level, even outside of country music.
From what Bri said on the BFF’s podcast, it sounds like that bothered Zach, which is fair to a certain extent, but he seemingly took it to an entirely new level, being upset Bri had Morgan’s smash hit “Last Night” stuck in her head one morning after scrolling past the song in a TikTok video…
She alleges that she walked up the stairs at their NYC apartment one morning singing a line from it, and it turned into “a fight for a week.” Bri recalled Zach telling her that he couldn’t believe she would be “singing another man’s song under my roof, in this house, that I own,” saying he “freaked the f*** out” over it:
“One morning, we were out the night before, and one morning I woke up and I was scrolling TikTok, and ‘Last night, we let the liquor talk,’ was stuck in my head.
And I walk up the stairs in the New York apartment, and I’m singing, I’m about to make breakfast or something like that… he freaked the f*** out. Like, freaked the f*** out. He could not believe, ‘You’re singing another man’s song under my roof, in this house, that I own.’ It was a fight for, I think, a week. It’s a Morgan Wallen song. I don’t know…”
Portnoy was a little confused about why Zach was bothered about that song in particular, wondering if there was specific beef between the two country stars he didn’t know about, but I think Josh summed it up perfectly, explaining:
“I think he really doesn’t like Morgan Wallen. I think he hates Morgan Wallen. I think he feels inferior to Morgan Wallen.”
Bri then also told the guys that she “wasn’t really allowed” to listen to wildly popular folk pop singer Noah Kahan either, who Zach previously called “a friend” after he missed one of the shows at Fenway Park that Noah headlined, where he supposedly going to be the “surprise guest”:
“I also, I was not really allowed to listen to Noah Kahan. I listened to him too much.”
Honestly, Zach getting upset that Bri was listening to Morgan, especially a song that was a massive crossover hit, feels especially wild… it was, and still is, everywhere… like, you can’t not hear it everywhere you go. Plus, it’s so damn catchy, like many of Morgan’s songs. I get that it might be annoying to a certain extent, I guess, because Zach and Morgan are obviously direct competitors in so many ways, but what an out of pocket reaction.
Once again, this is obviously only one side of the story, and even if Zach didn’t like Morgan (or his music, really) at the time, he shared a story on Instagram yesterday of him listening to one of Morgan’s new ones “I’m The Problem,” which is the title track to his forthcoming album.
It doesn’t really mean anything at all, but maybe this Morgan Wallen hate wasn’t exactly what Brianna made it out to be? I know it doesn’t necessarily mean anything or have some deeper message behind it, but maybe Zach is trying to send a bit of a message with Brianna constantly keeping his name in her headlines? It’s anybody’s guess…
Morgan’s album will include a whopping 37 songs in total, and is due out everywhere on May 16th.
