Round 2. Though the dust has settled as of late, highlighted primarily by the release With Heaven On Top earlier this month, which went #1 on the all-genre Billboard 200, 2025 was undoubtedly a year full of controversy for Zach Bryan. Even ignoring all of the aftereffects of his messy, public breakup with Barstool’s Brianna Chickenfry from last year, Bryan managed to find himself in the crosshairs of plenty throughout 2025. Beyond stirring up criticism after telling a 14-year-old fan to “GOMD” (get off my d*ck) after failing to meet with fans after his second of three nights at MetLife Stadium in July, he’d also find himself at odds with both the White House and the DHS after teasing his highly-controversial song taking aim at ICE, “Bad News,” which appears on his aforementioned album. With that being said, however, his biggest controversy of the year was undoubtedly his encounter with Gavin Adcock at Born & Raised Fest. If you recall, the beef primarily stemmed from Adcock calling him out shortly after the aforementioned “GOMD” comment. If you’re familiar with Adcock, you’ll know that he’s quite famous at this point for continuing beefs and arguments long past when a standard artist would call it quits, and it was no different here with Bryan. Around two months would go by with on-and-off pestering from Adcock, and in September, during Born & Raised Fest, Bryan would make a surprise appearance alongside rising country star, Gabriella Rose, to perform their single together, “Madeline.” While performing “Madeline,” he apparently thought that was the appropriate time to taunt Gavin Adcock, not once but twice, including in the middle of the song: @ware_3 GAVIN ADCOCK F*CK YEAH #zachbryan #oklahoma #bornandraised #fyp #concert ♬ original sound – Trey Ware Shortly after the performance, he allegedly saw Adcock through a fence as he was leaving and stopped to confront him. Hopping over the fence, he was grabbed by security with no punches being thrown. Adcock argued that Bryan had saw him earlier in the day and wasn’t drunk enough to confront him then. Of course, this then led to the now-viral video of the Oklahoma native jumping the fence and confronting the “Run Your Mouth” singer. What was seemingly ignored out of all of this, however, was the fact that Bryan all but hijacked Rose’s set at Born & Raised. Though our own Aaron Ryan pointed this out shortly after the incident, this notion was seemingly lost in the insanity of the whole situation. With the incident came speculation of whether or not Bryan’s stunt soured Rose’s working relationship with the “I Remember Everything” singer. While that seemed to be put to rest when he booked her seven separate dates on his upcoming, international set of shows, With Heaven On Tour, the two all but confirmed the incident was water under the bridge today. Early this morning, Bryan would upload another brand new teaser of a collaboration with Rose, seemingly titled “Carnival Ride.” View this post on Instagram As someone who thought Madeline was a stellar effort between the two, especially from Rose whose presence elevated the track tenfold compared to the early, solo teaser, “Carnival Ride” looks to be an even better collaboration between the two. Using his patented folk-inspired sound, Bryan uses some strong religious imagery on what appears to be the song’s chorus, painting the picture of woman longing for her man to return to her as she begins “waiting for the Holy Ghost to bring her back to Satan.” “Train’s long gone. It’s been gone for hours You can’t have rye when the grain’s gone sour He’s been on the road. She’s been looking for a carnival ride Girl you love most, she’s downstairs waiting For the Holy Ghost to bring her back to Satan Praying for a man to take her on a carnival ride” Though it’s hard to decipher just exactly what these lines mean in the context of the song in its entirety, it’s certainly an evocative chorus that’s simply begging to be fully fleshed out upon the track’s full release, hopefully some time soon. As of now, “Carnival Ride” does not have a release date. Zach Bryan Tour Dates March 7 – St. Louis, Missouri – The Dome at America’s Super Center – Caamp & J.R.

Eric Church hit the road this past week to kick off the second leg of his Free the Machine tour with two nights at The Anthem in Washington D.C. And during both shows, he dropped a teaser for the crowd for something big coming later this week. Of course, Church is also gearing up for the release of Evangeline vs. the Machine Comes Alive in IMAX, a full-length concert film recorded during his shows at The Pinnacle in Nashville last May. The movie will be in select theaters on February 11 and 14, and he’s also releasing a live album of the show to go with it on February 13. But it seems like Church, as well as several other country stars, have something else in the works too. According to the recaps posted to his website, during the show at The Anthem last Thursday, Church teased something coming this week: “On January 30, we’ve got a surprise coming. It’s the s–t.” And the following night, he once again told the crowd about the as-of-yet-unannounced surprised: “On January 30, something is going to happen and you’re going to f–king love it.” Though some fans were speculating a residency at the Las Vegas Sphere, much in the vein of fellow country superstars, Kenny Chesney and Zac Brown Band, a series of cryptic posts not only put those rumors to rest but subsequently sent fans into even more of a frenzy. In case you missed it, Church, along with Morgan Wallen, Tim McGraw and Hardy, all took to Instagram to upload incredibly similar posts with birth and death dates (save for Wallen) for members of a seemingly fictional McArthur family. However, when you take a look at the dates present on each and every post, there’s a much more historical significance to them. Eric Church “Junior McArthur. b. September 2, 1945. d. April 4, 1967.” For this set of dates, “Junior McArthur’s” birthdate coincides exactly with the Surrender of Japan during the final days of World War II, months after the U.S. formally called for an unconditional surrender. Conversely, his death lines up perfectly with the day Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous “Beyond Vietnam” speech in New York City at Riverside Church. Ultimately, the speech served as a condemnation of the country’s involvement in the Vietnam War and called upon the U.S. to instead focus on fighting poverty and racial inequality here in the states. View this post on Instagram Tim McGraw “John McArthur. b November 2, 1920. d. November 22, 1963.” Arguably the most horrific piece of American history contained here, “John McArthur’s” birthday falls on the day of the Ocoee Massacre in Ocoee, Florida. A day after the 1920 Presidential election was held, over 50 (some estimate anywhere from 30–80) African Americans were killed after participating in the election and exercising their right to vote. Additionally, black-owned buildings and residences in northern Ocoee were burned to the ground. Conversely, his death lines up on the day of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas, which remains the most famous and highly-speculated political assassination in modern U.S. History. The direct tie to both of these dates, in my opinion, would be JFK’s famous opposition to segregation and further support of racial equality throughout his time as president. View this post on Instagram HARDY “Jones McArthur. b. June 5, 1968. d. January 5, 2025.” Though Church was the one to signal something coming, HARDY was technically the first artist to upload this set of teasers to social media. Ironically, his is arguably the most unclear. Following a similar pattern as McGraw, “Jones McArthur’s” birthday coincides directly with the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, just one day after he won the California primary during his Presidential campaign the same year. The significance of the death date here is a bit unclear, however. Unlike Church and McGraw, whose both signal major political events in the U.S., January 5, 2025, was a bit uneventful. The only major story emerging that day was President Biden signing a bill to expand social security benefits. From a global perspective, Russia launched a renewed offensive “in several directions” in Ukraine. Outside of those two events, there wasn’t anything incredibly historic, at least broadly speaking. View this post on Instagram Morgan Wallen Finally, we have Billboard’s #1 Artist of 2025 himself, Morgan Wallen, who is the only outlier here. As mentioned previously, his post is the only one without a death date. Even more interesting, his name, “Hunter McArthur,” shares the same birthday with Wallen himself. Though it’s a bit unclear, it seems as if Wallen will serve as the fourth and final member of the family who will be grappling with today’s current state of affairs in the country. So what does this all mean? Exploring the birthdates of the family on a surface level, it appears that this project will four span four generations of the McArthur family, beginning with the patriarch John (Tim McGraw) and ending with his great-grandson Hunter (Morgan Wallen). Given that we’ve already dove into the significance to nearly every date present in the teasers, it’s becoming increasingly clear that this project is going to revolve around U.S. history over the past century or so. From major political assassinations to horrific acts of racial violence to both the end and condemnation of multiple wars, all signs point to highlighting the division this country has endured and survived over the past 100+ years. Of course, this would be more than timely considering the current state of affairs as of late, ranging from events such as the assassination of Charlie Kirk in September, to the deaths in Minneapolis at the hands ICE more recently. Ultimately, we won’t know exactly what the four artists (and potentially more) have in store for us until January 30th, but for now, we at least have a base line to guess what the project is about. Minimally, it’s primed to start an important conversation about the current state of the country while looking back at the past from a historic lens. Or… it could all just be a massive coincidence… stay tuned.The post From World War II To The Kennedy Assassinations: Exploring The Historical Significance Behind Morgan Wallen, Eric Church & Others’ Cryptic Teasers first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
