However, Bryan’s enthusiasm hit a snag when he tweeted a controversial comparison, suggesting Kanye West was superior to Taylor Swift. The backlash was swift and intense, leading Bryan to issue a heartfelt apology to smooth over the situation.
He wrote on his social media, “Eagles>chiefs/ Kanye>Taylor.” He added, “Who’s with me.” That last line seemed to echo the last few days as many lashed out at Bryan for his comments. And with Swifties entering the conversation, the country singer found out exactly who was with him.
Zach Bryan temporarily deactivated his Twitter account and took to Instagram to apologize.

Bryan concluded his message with a final note to “not drink and tweet” and reiterated his apology. He shared his admiration for Taylor Swift’s influence, emphasizing his respect for her work. To close, he mentioned he’d be listening to her version of “Castles Crumbling” as a gesture of appreciation.
Bryan shared a final message with fans, reflecting on his personal challenges. He mentioned that the year has been tough and he’s been struggling to manage everything. He plans to take a break from social media, focus on finishing his tour, and find some stability. Despite the difficulties, he feels deeply grateful each day.
