Controversial country singer Zach Bryan vows to ‘NEVER’ play in Kansas City again after clash with Chiefs fans
Zach Bryan vowed to never perform in Kansas City, Missouri again after clashing with Chiefs fans.
The controversial country star, 29, declared that he would never return to the city in Missouri after getting into a feud with Kansas City Chiefs fans on social media.
On Friday, he reignited his beef with the Chiefs supporters when he tweeted about the team’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl LIX.
He poked at a sore spot when he brought up how Chiefs fans were rooting for their team to become the first to win three consecutive Super Bowl games in NFL history, a feat they failed to achieve earlier this year.
The singer-songwriter — who is a vocal Philadelphia Eagles fan — wrote on X: ‘Where are all the three peat people from last year:/.’
He received mixed reactions and stirred up more backlash – which all comes shortly after separate controversies involving his ex-girlfriend Brianna Chickenfry, his response to a young fan who slammed him for not signing autographs after a concert, and a feud with another country star.

Bryan responded to one particular comment after seeing several of his fans getting into a heated debate underneath his tweet.
One X user told Bryan to ‘don’t come back’ after ‘talking that s*** and yet [touring] here.’
Bryan then followed up by saying he had no plans to return to the Missouri city as he retweeted the user’s post saying that the singer had ‘singled out … that same fanbase that sells out his shows.’
‘Please understand I will never play in Kansas City,’ he wrote in response to the user’s response.
Bryan, who is currently touring through September, previously performed in Kansas City in 2021, 2023 and 2024.
He then reposted his tweet again and added: ‘I’ll be about to finish my show and then get a taunting call if I play at that stadium.’
When the same user fired back at the singer to ‘take us off your live album too’ — seemingly referring to the track Fifth of May – Live from Kansas City from Bryan’s album 24 (Live) — he tweeted back: ‘Done brother.’
Then, Bryan went on to tweet several more times on the topic in response to his previous statements that upset some Chiefs fans.
‘I missed it here guys,’ he tweeted. ‘Let’s piss some people off.’
Later, he added: ‘Bro all u have to do to piss of a chiefs fan is play a fair game of football.’
Shortly afterwards, he followed up with: ‘Guys it’s okay to talk trash to each other about football yall are weird as hell.’

Just last year, Bryan also made headlines for his posts on X, formerly Twitter, and deactivated his account.
In September 2024, he received backlash for his comments about Taylor Swift, one of the most famous Chiefs fans as she is dating Travis Kelce.
In a controversial tweet, Bryan had compared her to Kanye Swift when he tweeted that ‘Eagles > chiefs’ and ‘Kanye > Taylor.’
He concluded the tweet by asking his fans ‘who’s with me’ but ended up deleting the post and claiming he was inebriated when he tweeted it.
He later took to his Instagram Story to apologize after he deactivated his X account amid the backlash at the time.
‘For the record guys I wasn’t coming for Taylor the other night,’ he wrote. ‘I was drunkenly comparing two records and it came out wrong.

‘I know there’s a lot of stuff that clouds around Ye and I was speaking purely musically. I love Taylor’s music and pray you guys know I’m human and tweet stupid things often.’
He added: ‘Hope one day I can explain this to her. Twitter gets me in trouble too much and I’d say it’s best I stay off it. I’m sorry to any Taylor fans I pissed off or let down. Love you guys and I’m trying my best!’
This comes as Bryan is involved in even more drama as his ex-girlfriend recently hinted at filing a restraining order against him after he filmed himself burning a flag belonging to the company where Brianna Chickenfry works as a podcast host and content creator.
In late July, he also sparked controversy when he fired back at an ‘entitled’ teenage fan for getting upset that he did not sign autographs after one of his shows.
