Zach Bryan Vows Never to Play Kansas City Again After Online Feud With Chiefs Fans

Zach Bryan is bidding farewell to Kansas City ahead of this year’s NFL season.

On Friday (Aug. 8), the 29-year-old country star vowed never to perform again in the Midwestern city — home to the Kansas City Chiefs — following an online feud with the team’s fans.

“Where are all the three-peat people from last year?” Bryan, a longtime Philadelphia Eagles fan, wrote on X, referencing the Chiefs’ failed attempt at three consecutive Super Bowl victories after their loss to the Eagles in 2025.

Chiefs fans didn’t take kindly to the jab, flooding the post’s comments with angry replies. “3 Super Bowl wins 5 seasons. Eagles have won 2 in their 70 year history. Sit down Eagles fan from Oklahoma,” one person wrote. Another added, “Just another abusive Eagles fan, nothing to see here.”

The “I Remember Everything” singer then issued a warning to KC fans. “Please understand I will never play in Kansas City,” he wrote. “I’ll be about to finish my show and then get a taunting call if I play at that stadium.”

Bryan was referring to Arrowhead Stadium, the Chiefs’ home turf and a frequent stop for Taylor Swift, who has often attended games to support her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

At one point during the fiery back-and-forth, a Chiefs fan urged Bryan to remove “Fifth of May (Live from Kansas City)” from his digital-only 24 Live album, which dropped in December 2024. “Done, brother,” Bryan replied. As of Sunday morning, the live track remained available on streaming services.

“Bro all u have to do to piss off a chiefs fan is play a fair game of football,” Bryan continued. “Guys it’s okay to talk trash to each other about football yall are weird as hell.”

But fans in Kansas City who may miss out on Bryan still have hope of seeing him nearby. “I miss you Bonner Springs coming to play next year,” the singer wrote on X Sunday (Aug. 10) morning, referring to the neighboring city just outside Kansas City.

This isn’t the first time Bryan has faced backlash on social media. In September 2024, the artist issued an apology and deactivated his account after drawing a controversial comparison between Swift and Ye (formerly Kanye West). “eagles > chiefs / Kanye > Taylor,” he posted on X, later following up with, “who’s with me.”

In his subsequent apology on his Instagram Story, Bryan clarified: “For the record guys I wasn’t coming for Taylor the other night,” He continued, “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. Hope one day I can explain this to her.”
