Zach Bryan: Bulls, Breakups, and Big Tipping - Inside the Whirlwind Week of Country's Rising Star

Zach Bryan BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

The past week in the world of Zach Bryan has unfolded with an intensity worthy of the headlines. Just days after performing his largest headline show ever at London’s Hyde Park, Zach surprised both fans and critics by dashing off to Pamplona, Spain, where he joined the legendary Running of the Bulls. Posting on Instagram with his now viral line “Took a horn to the chest like I’m back in Oklahoma,” Zach appeared unharmed, but his daring participation in one of Europe’s most dangerous traditions became instant social media cannon fodder. Fans lit up comment sections—some worrying about his safety, others joking about his drinking or country toughness. The Pamplona visit came on the heels of another international headline: in Ireland, he stunned staff and patrons at a Dublin pub by leaving a $7000 tip, an act confirmed by the pub’s owner and widely covered in Irish media.

Bryan’s personal life, however, is casting as much of a shadow as his music. The long-simmering breakup feud with podcaster Brianna Chickenfry (Brianna LaPaglia) reignited in dramatic fashion after Zach dropped a trio of new songs, including “Streets Of London,” “A Song For You,” and the particularly scrutinized “River Washed Hair.” Fans speculated that “River Washed Hair” references Brianna, especially with the protagonist’s name “Anna,” which mirrors “Brianna.” Prompted by a TikTok reaction, Zach fired back with a rare and sharp comment, insisting the song wasn’t about his ex and mocking the online sleuthing—only to delete the comment soon after. Brianna, never one to shy away from the spotlight, seized the moment, teasing the release of a damning “fire pit recording” on her podcast and doubling down on allegations of emotional abuse, including claims Zach offered her $12 million for an NDA—a stunning detail she has repeated across multiple platforms but that remains unverified and hotly debated.

Amidst this tabloid storm, Zach is keeping his career in high gear. He’s back stateside later this month for a widely anticipated three-night stadium stand at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, part of his blockbuster “Quittin Time” tour. Small businesses are even running promotions on “Zach Bryan Small Business Saturday,” capitalizing on his arena-scale pull. Meanwhile, he continues to stoke fan excitement with the announcement of a forthcoming song, “Madeline,” set for release this week, signaling that in spite of the controversy, the music—and the headlines—keep coming for Zach Bryan.
