Zach Bryan’s fans in Kansas City were hit with a tough blow over the weekend.
The 29-year-old country singer stirred up a storm on social media after taking aim at Kansas City Chiefs fans on Friday (Aug. 8). Bryan, a vocal Philadelphia Eagles supporter, shared his thoughts on the Chiefs’ past hope for a three-peat—the idea that Kansas City would become the first NFL team in history to win three consecutive Super Bowls. That dream was crushed back in February when the Eagles triumphed over the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII.
“Where are all the three-peat people from last year:/,” the “Something in the Orange” singer posted on X (formerly Twitter), referencing the Chiefs’ Super Bowl loss.
Backlash and Heated Debate
Bryan’s post quickly ignited a debate, with one user on X accusing him of “singling out” the same fanbase that has helped sell out his shows. Bryan’s response was blunt: “Please understand I will never play in Kansas City,” he wrote, alongside a repost of the comment. Although Bryan has performed in Kansas City several times, it now appears that the city won’t be featuring on his tour stops anytime soon.
More Jabs at the Chiefs
In a follow-up post, Bryan continued to take jabs at the Chiefs, adding, “I’ll be about to finish my show and then get a taunting call if I play at that stadium.”

The same user asked Bryan to “take us off your live album too,” seemingly referring to the track “Fifth of May – Live from Kansas City” from his 24 (Live) album. An unbothered Bryan replied: “Done brother.”
Enjoying the Backlash?
Despite ruffling some feathers among his fanbase, Bryan appeared to revel in the back-and-forth. Later that evening, he posted again: “I missed it here guys let’s piss some people off,” followed by, “Bro all u have to do to piss off a chiefs fan is play a fair game of football.” He concluded his social media spat with a final post: “Guys it’s okay to talk trash to each other about football [y’all] are weird as hell.”
