Zach Bryan, the rising country singer-songwriter, is making headlines once again, but this time it’s not about his music.
The artist, known for his passionate love for the Philadelphia Eagles, is embroiled in a social media spat with Kansas City Chiefs fans after making controversial comments regarding the Chiefs’ recent performance.
Zach Bryan’s Outspoken Comments on Kansas City Chiefs Fans
On Friday, August 8, 2025, Zach Bryan took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his thoughts on the Kansas City Chiefs, specifically targeting the fans.
He reminded them of the hopes many had last year that the Chiefs would become the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive Super Bowls. However, this dream was crushed with a loss to Bryan’s beloved Philadelphia Eagles in February.
He wrote, “Where are all the three-peat people from last year:/”, mocking the Chiefs’ inability to achieve that record-breaking feat.
This comment sparked a range of reactions, with many Chiefs fans defending their team and responding harshly to Bryan’s taunts.
However, instead of backing down, Bryan doubled down. He responded with another tweet that said, “I’ll never play in Kansas City again.” The country star made it clear that he had no plans to perform in Kansas City—or Missouri—again, a bold statement given his history of shows in the city.
Zach Bryan’s Strong Stand on His Decision
In response to fans and the heated debate, Bryan posted again, emphasizing that he didn’t want to perform in Kansas City at all, sharing a reposted comment about his decision: “Please understand I will never play in Kansas City.”
He added, “I’ll be about to finish my show and then get a taunting call if I play at that stadium.”
This was not Bryan’s first interaction with Chiefs fans, having previously performed in the Missouri city several times, including in 2021, 2023, and 2024. Despite this, it seems he’s had enough of the animosity and decided it was time to draw a line in the sand.
Zach Bryan Takes It a Step Further
The feud didn’t stop there. The same fan who had confronted Bryan suggested that he should also take Kansas City off his live album.
Bryan, showing no hesitation, agreed, stating, “Done brother.” He made it clear he wouldn’t hesitate to edit his work if that’s what it took to keep the peace, even as Spotify continues to host the track “Fifth of May – Live from Kansas City” from his album 24 (Live).
Bryan then posted multiple times, joking about the situation. “I missed it here guys let’s piss some people off,” he posted, clearly enjoying the chaos he had created.
He also tweeted: “Bro, all you have to do to piss off a Chiefs fan is play a fair game of football,” continuing the playful yet taunting nature of his comments.
Bryan ended his series of posts with one final jab, saying, “Guys, it’s okay to talk trash to each other about football [y’all] are weird as hell,” showing his willingness to banter with fans of opposing teams.
A History of Controversial Moments for Zach Bryan
Zach Bryan’s online behavior is no stranger to controversy. Back in September 2024, Bryan made headlines for targeting one of the Kansas City Chiefs’ biggest fans, Taylor Swift, in a post comparing her to Kanye West.
In that post, he declared, “Eagles > Chiefs” and “Kanye > Taylor.” However, he later deleted the post, claiming that he was drunk and didn’t mean to attack Swift.
Bryan eventually apologized on Instagram Stories, clarifying that his comments were not intended as a personal attack on Taylor Swift. He expressed regret, explaining that he was having a tough time and had let his emotions get the best of him.
“I respect her so much as a musician that the last thing I want is people thinking I don’t appreciate and love what she has done for music,” he said in his apology.
