The feud between Zach Bryan and Brianna Chickenfry takes a new turn as fans dissect his “sweet girl” lyric and LaPaglia promises to drop revealing audio.

The ongoing split between American singer-songwriter Zach BryanZach Bryan and  Brianna LaPaglia arrives at the 82nd Annual Golden Globe Awards held at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on January 5, 2025 in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, California, United StatesBrianna LaPaglia (“Brianna Chickenfry”) flared up again in July 2025 after months of tense back-and-forth. The latest round began when Bryan dropped a snippet of his new song, River Washed Hair, on TikTok, featuring the lyric “the sweet girl who tore off that dress.”

Fans quickly speculated in the comments that the line was aimed at LaPaglia. Bryan shot back, replying:

“lmfao I said ‘sweet,’ this is not about whatever she has going on hahahaha.”
He later deleted the comment, but not before it circulated widely.

LaPaglia responded publicly on TikTok:

“Lmao of course he doesn’t think I’m sweet. I turned down $12 million to share my abuse… FYI his songs aren’t about anyone, he writes them blackout at 6AM.”

She also brought up a voice recording she says was made during a heated late-night argument by a fire pit, in which Bryan allegedly belittled her and her friends. LaPaglia teased plans to share the audio soon on her BFFs podcast.

This escalation comes after LaPaglia accused Bryan of emotional abuse and claimed his team offered her a $12 million NDA to stay silent—a claim Bryan has never addressed. With LaPaglia now promising new receipts, the drama around their breakup is only getting messier, fueling debate among fans and drawing even more attention to both stars’ next moves.
