Missouri music fans might want to sit down for this one because Zach Bryan just swore he’ll never set foot on a Kansas City stage again. The “Something in the Orange” singer, who’s never been shy about sharing his NFL loyalties, has reignited his long-running beef with Chiefs fans, and it’s not looking like there’s going to be a truce anytime soon.
The drama bubbled up just as football fever was starting to take over Missouri again. Bryan, a die-hard Philadelphia Eagles fan, clearly hasn’t let his beef with the Chiefs slide. In true Zach Bryan fashion, he took to social media to stir the pot, tweeting: “Where are all the three peat people from last year?” A not-so-subtle jab at Kansas City’s failed quest for a third straight championship.
It didn’t take long for Chiefs Kingdom to clap back, and soon Bryan was in the middle of a full-blown Twitter war. Rather than back down, he doubled down with the ultimate punishment. “Please understand I will never play in Kansas City,” Bryan declared. “I’ll be about to finish my show and then get a taunting call if I play at that stadium.”
Zach Bryan Shuns Kansas City, Missouri
And if you think that’s just talk, well, this feud is starting to look serious. One fired-up fan even demanded Bryan remove “Fifth of May (Live from Kansas City)” from his live album. His response? “Done brother.”
Bryan also kept throwing little jabs between the bigger blows. “Bro all u have to do to piss off a chiefs fan is play a fair game of football,” he posted, following it up with, “Guys it’s okay to talk trash to each other about football yall are weird as hell.” Clearly, this was more than just a quick exchange; this was a full-on Zach Bryan vs. Kansas City showdown.
“Bro wtf is wrong with you. Your ego is way to big. Get some help,” one person tweeted to the country superstar. “This is the most ridiculous thing,” another said. “Extend that to the whole state and we would appreciate it!” a third comment read.
Did He Go Too Far?
Of course, NFL culture thrives on this kind of smack talk. Eagles and Chiefs fans have been sparring online since that final whistle blew at the last Super Bowl, and Missouri football pride runs deep. But for Kansas City Swifties hoping Bryan might show up on stage alongside Taylor Swift or her Chiefs tight end boyfriend Travis Kelce one day, don’t hold your breath.
Still, the man might not be shutting Missouri out completely. In what can only be described as a classic “technicality loophole,” Bryan tweeted about his love for Bonner Springs, a city just 30 minutes outside of Kansas City. “I miss you Bonner Springs coming to play next year,” he wrote, suggesting that while KC proper is off-limits, nearby venues might still make the cut.
So, while Zach Bryan may never again grace a Kansas City, Missouri crowd, fans in surrounding areas might have a shot at hearing “Heading South” live. Just don’t show up in a Patrick Mahomes jersey unless you’re ready for a little friendly fire.
