If you follow Zach Bryan‘s girlfriend, Brianna LaPaglia, on social media, then you’ve most likely seen her document the couple’s day to day life on a tour bus. On Tuesday (5/14), she posted a video to her TikTok account stating she was “nearing a mental breakdown,” and we can’t blame her.

LaPaglia has been traveling across the country alongside Bryan for his 2024 headlining ‘No Quittin Tour,’ and sadly they experienced a “traumatizing” car crash this week. The Barstool Sports star, also known as Brianna Chickenfry, revealed in the video that they thought they were about to say goodbye to each other.

“I’m just going to rant for a second because I think I’m nearing a mental breakdown, and I’ve been living on a bus for the past month, so that doesn’t help the mental, but everything. It’s just like, what the f—‘s going on,” LaPaglia said in her TikTok video.

She continued, “Two nights ago, Zach and I got into a traumatizing side-by-side car crash. It flipped a bunch of times. Everything shattered and thank God we had our seatbelts on. There was a lot of blood, and we thought, like, we were like saying goodbye to each other. And after the ambulance came and he got all stitched up, we were like, oh my God, thank God. Like it didn’t hit an artery.”

LaPaglia summarized the traumatizing car accident by saying they are “happy and alive, we’re fine.” The night didn’t end there, their cat, Mago, ran off the bus and caused a frenzy, but luckily he is now safe and sound, thanks to Bryan.

Today (5/15), the 24-year-old posted a follow up video to a comment saying, “I’m glad y’all are okay, how scary for you.” LaPaglia went on to say, “I will be that annoying person. I will spend the rest of my life saying wear your seatbelt.”

5 Zach Bryan Songs You Should Know

Zach Bryan made national headlines last week (9/7) when he was arrested in his home state of Oklahoma. His arrest came after he got out of his truck and confronted an officer who had pulled his bodyguard over for speeding. After the arrest, Zach apologized to his fans, saying that he was in the wrong.

It was also last week when his newly released duet with Kacey Musgraves topped the Billboard Hot 100 song chart. It was his first time topping the chart as well as Musgraves’.

Bryan has been making significant strides in country music since his “Something In The Orange” song became a big hit; in May, he won an Academy of Country Music award for Best New Male Artist, and he was nominated for the New Artist award at the CMA awards in November.

Zach recently released a new album, and according to his social media at the time, he has “no grand explanation” for the 17 songs on the project. In a lengthy post on Instagram (8/25), he said, “I don’t have a bulls— rollout plan to stuff it in front of as many people as I can.” He added in the frank post that he would be “grateful” to anyone who listened to it.

The self-described “kid from Oklahoma” thanked people who have “kept the course” with him in the last few years. After saying that the music business has both good and bad, he said the new album is “All Me” at twenty-seven years old. He closed by telling fans he is at a “loss for words” at what a “blessing this life is.”

Many fans responded to his post, including one who wrote, “Amazing album.” Another fan commented, “The man of the hour is too sweet to be sour.” One more of his 2.5 million Instagram followers said, “Such a humble man. True idol for me and all the young men and women out there.”

This is an early song from Bryan. The song was initially released in 2019, but in 2020, it garnered attention on the Internet, gaining over 30 million plays.

This song is track eleven on his fourth studio album, Zach Bryan, released on August 25, 2023. The song debuted at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming both Bryan and Musgraves’ first number-one song on that chart. The haunting chorus includes the lyrics, “A cold shoulder at closing time / You were bеggin’ me to stay ’til the sun rose / Strangе words come on out / Of a grown man’s mouth when his mind’s broke / Pictures and passin’ time / You only smile like that when you’re drinkin’ / I wish I didn’t, but I do / Remember every moment on the nights with you.”
"Something in the Orange" - (2022
This song is considered Zach’s breakout hit. Bryan said that he wrote the song in a cabin in Wisconsin when it was released. Zach released two versions of the song: the original single version and an entirely different version, which features just his vocals and piano. Bryan also released a music video for the song containing crowd-sourced footage shot by fans that he said in a statement captured the “raw and unfiltered emotion” of the song experience.
