Fans at record-setting Michigan Stadium concert break into a “Seven Nation Army” chant
Zach Bryan’s Ann Arbor audience breaks into a White Stripes chant between songs.
Oklahoma native Zach Bryan seems to be taking a stand against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in a teaser for his new song.
Bryan’s new song, titled “Bad News,” includes some lyrics regarding the current political climate of the nation as he laments, “I got some bad news.”
The post doesn’t provide much context from the 29-year-old Oologah, Oklahoma native, but features a caption reading “Fading of the red white and blue.”
In the audio, posted on Instagram, the U.S. Navy veteran seemingly sings: “ICE is gonna come, bust down your door/ Try to build a house no one builds no more/ But I’ve got a telephone/ Kids are all scared and all alone.”
Other lines of the song go on to say, “The bar stopped bumping/ The rock stopped rolling/ The middle fingers rising and it won’t stop showing,” he later sings. “I’ve got some bad news/ The fading of the red, white and blue.”
The minute-long video, which only depicts a voice recording on an iPhone, has drawn some negative attention from right-leaning fans on the platform.
Who is Zach Bryan?
Zach Bryan, 29, was born in Okinawa, Japan to U.S. Navy parents. He moved to Oolagah, Oklahoma, where he began writing songs as a teenager and formed his Red Dirt roots.
He went on to serve in the U.S. Navy and, while on leave from duty, dropped his debut album “DeAnn.” Since then, Bryan has continued to become one of country music’s big names.
What has Zach Bryan said about politics before?
Speaking with The New York Times in 2022, Bryan described himself as a “total libertarian.” The following year, while responding to musician Travis Tritt’s vow to boycott Anheuser-Busch products over the company’s partnership with Dylan Mulvaney, Bryan reportedly posted that “insulting transgender people is completely wrong.
“I just have family transitioning and have blood to defend here,” he added.
More than a week prior, Bryan performed what was reportedly the biggest ticketed concert in U.S. history at Ann Arbor’s Michigan Stadium.
Over the Oct. 4 weekend, as protests over immigration enforcement intensified, a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Chicago shot a woman after she and at least one other person allegedly rammed cars into vehicles carrying federal authorities.
