Country music singer Zach Bryan is no stranger when it comes to headlines.
In fact, just back on Sept. 27 he broke George Strait’s record for the highest ticketed concert in the United States when he sold 112,408 for his show at Michigan Stadium. That made plenty of headlines, and so did his climbing a fence to try to fight Gavin Adcock recently, too.
But he’s back in the headlines this week for his music, and this is one that most of his fans might not have seen coming.
So, what’s up?
Well, Bryan dropped a new song, “Bad News,” and it is not kind to ICE.
“The generational story of dropping the plot/ I hear the cops came, cocky (expletives) ain’t they? / And ICE is gonna come bust down your door / Try to build a house, no bills no more, well I got a telephone / Kids are all scared and all alone.”
Bryan shared a clip of the song to Instagram, and wrote, “The fading of the red white and blue.”
Fans of President Donald Trump did not take kindly to the new song.
“Who’s ready for the Zach Bryan-Dixie Chicks tour?” country music singer and Trump backer John Rich wrote on X. “Prob a huge Bud Light sponsorship for this one.”
“No name country artist Zach Bryan, slams ice for deporting criminal illegal immigrants,” Mike Engleman wrote on X. “It’s a stretch calling him an artist because he has no talent.”
There were plenty more posts like that, but Bryan also had plenty of support.
“No name country artist Zach Bryan,” Caleb Brock responded to Engleman’s post while sharing a picture that shows the singer has 25.9 million monthly listeners.
“The ‘no name country artist’ who held the largest ticketed concert in U.S. history (112,000 people) last week,” another person responded to Engleman.
“When you’ve lost country music star Zach Bryan, it might be time for some self-reflection,” Chris D. Jackson wrote on X. “Just saying ….”
Bryan has yet to respond to the criticism, but again … he has a history of not biting his tongue when it comes to things so this might get interesting.
