Zach Bryan was a no show at Wednesday’s Country Music Awards after his and Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia’s headline-making split.
The country singer gave his Instagram followers a glimpse at what he was up to instead.
After a “rainy morning,” the Grammy winner, 28, went on a beach walk with his dog, a chocolate Labrador named Jack Daniels.
Notably, his and Kacey Musgrave’s “I Remember Everything” duet was nominated for Musical Event of the Year but did not win the CMA.
Bryan has been touring amid his ex-girlfriend’s claims on the “BFFs” podcast that he emotionally abused her during their year-long relationship.
The songwriter has yet to respond to the Barstool Sports personality’s viral allegations.
He did, however, post a Jack Kerouac quote to his Story from “On the Road” earlier this month, which read, “I didn’t know what to say. I felt like crying. Goddammit everybody in the world wants an explanation for your acts and for your very being.”
LaPaglia, who claimed that she turned down a $12 million offer to stay silent about their time together, blasted Bryan for his “deafening” silence last week.
“If he is to respond, he has to deny it … and then I post all the videos and the recordings,” the 25-year-old said on the Nov. 13 podcast episode, claiming this “proves his character again.”
LaPaglia also alleged earlier this month that Bryan took their cat, Stump, “out of spite” when they called it quits.
“He didn’t even like cats,” the influencer, who also has a dog named Boston, said in a TikTok video. “I love cats. I love cats. Can someone steal the cat back for me?”
Bryn subsequently posted a photo with Stump on his shoulder, calling the feline the “best shoulder parrot.”
He and LaPaglia went public with their romance in the summer of 2023, with Bryan announcing their breakup in October of the following year.
“I thought it would be beneficial for both of us to go our different ways,” he wrote via Instagram Stories last month — in a move that allegedly “blindsided” his ex.
Over the weekend, she was spotted cuddling up to a new man and clapped back at haters for how “fast” she seemingly moved on since she was allegedly cheated on her “whole relationship.”
