Tyler Childers recently reacted to Zach Bryan's video, where he can be seen burning a flag that has the words "Saturdays Are For the Boys" printed on it. The video, which was posted on his Instagram Story, was allegedly directed at his ex-girlfriend, Brianna Chickenfry, with whom he has a troubled relationship.

While the exact reason for Tyler Childers' reaction to the video cannot be said for certain, it is speculated that it may be because the video uses Childers own song, "Bitin' List," a track about having strong feelings of dislike towards someone. Childers commented on the video, saying:

"Oh s*it."

Zach Bryan and Childers have a good working relationship, with the former even having attended Childers' concert in the past. The "Something In Orange" singer had previously praised Tyler Childers' music and congratulated him on his first top country radio hit back in 2024. He had also referred to him as one of the best songwriters in country music and described him as "tenfold the musician" that he is.

The former couple started dating in July 2023 and were together for a little over a year before they went their separate ways in October 2024. According to reports, since then, LaPaglia has opened up about the difficulties she faced during her relationship with the "I Remember Everything" singer. According to Entertainment Online, she accused Zach Bryan of emotional abuse and alleged that he had offered her $12 million in exchange for not speaking publicly about their relationship.

Even Zach Bryan's ex-wife, Rose Madden, who, although she has never publicly addressed her own alleged troubled relationship with Zach Bryan, had reportedly facetimed with Brianna after her split from the singer. Speaking about her connection with Madden, she said:

"I-f*cking love her. I have never felt more seen and validated in my life, same with her. Oh my gosh. She's a great person."

Brianna, who previously hosted the "Plan Bri Uncut" podcast under Barstool Sports, received support from Dave Portnoy, who is the owner of the company. Last year, Dave Portnoy released a diss track, titled "The Smallest Man That Ever Lived," seemingly directed at Zach Bryan.

On August 4, Brianna Chickenfry posted a reply where she seemingly replied to Zach Bryan''s video. She wrote:

"Nurse he’s loose again."

She also posted another story on her Instagram, which is a screenshot of her Google search that reads "How to file a restraining order."

Apart from this, a few days before Zach Bryan posted the flag-burning video on his Instagram, Tyler Childers' had reposted a video shared by Rose Madden. In the video Rose Madden can be seen positively reacting to Tyler Childers' recent song, "Bitin' List." Many fans previously argued that since Childers reposted the video from Rose Madden, someone who has a strained relationship with Zach Bryan, his own relationship with the Grammy winner may have gone sour. But there is no confirmation to support the claim.
