Overview

• A 14-year-old fan’s now-deleted TikTok claimed she waited until 4 a.m. after Zach Bryan’s MetLife Stadium concert only to see him drive off without greeting.
• Bryan responded in an Instagram screenshot that attendees aren’t entitled to a photo or hello after a two-and-a-half-hour performance.
• The fan replied that her video was a joke and labeled Bryan a “d---k,” fueling the online back-and-forth.
• Social media users are split between critics who call the singer abrasive and defenders who say artists need boundaries.
• Country artist Gavin Adcock joined the debate, questioning why fans idolize Bryan if he can’t handle criticism from a teenager.
