Zach Bryan Trolls Brantley Gilbert & TPUSA Halftime Show With Chili Dog-Inspired “Dirt Road Anthem” Parody
Need a Zach Bryan x Drake collab soon.
As usual, it’s been a pretty controversial week for Zach Bryan. On Friday, he turned heads by stepping in for Luke Combs at the Madden Bowl, which ironically also featured none other than Gavin Adcock. A bit surprisingly, the night went off without a hitch with no mention of Adcock. In fact, it turned out to be one of the highlights of an admittedly tiring and controversial Super Bowl weekend with San Francisco 49ers star running back, Christian McCaffrey, stepping in for J.R. Carroll on keyboard and delivering a stellar performance.
On Super Bowl Sunday, however, Bryan found himself in hot water once again, taking aim at Turning Point’s alternative halftime show, which featured Kid Rock, Lee Brice, Brantley Gilbert and more as performers. First, he’d take to his Instagram story sharing his friend, Harley Carmichael, jokingly watching the TPUSA halftime show on his phone while blocking out Bad Bunny with his hand. He’d add his own commentary mocking Kid Rock:
“What kid rock actually thinks is happening across America”
While he clarified that Carmichael actually watched the Bad Bunny halftime show with him, apparently his joke upset quite a few people (because of course it did). The “Something in the Orange” singer took to Instagram to share some of the messages he received, while also doubling down and slamming the Turning Point USA halftime show:
“I don’t care what side you’re on, a bunch of adults throwing temper tantrums and their own halftime show is embarrassing as hell and the most cringe s— on the planet”
Though it seemed as if the dust had settled, it looks like the Oklahoma native isn’t done trolling just yet.
Last night, he and Carmichael took to Instagram to post an elaborate chili dog-inspired parody of Jason Aldean’s 2011 #1 hit, “Dirt Road Anthem,” which was originally written by Brantley Gilbert along with Colt Ford, clearly taking aim and trolling both Gilbert and the “Try That In a Small Town” singer following the alternative halftime viewing where Gilbert performed it.

Flipping “Dirt Road Anthem’s” chorus, Bryan and Carmichael would hilariously sing:
“Chili on a hot dog
I’m talkin’ ’bout chili on a hot dog
Motherf****** chili on a hot dog
I’m double-fistin’ chili on my hot dog
I need a dog. I got a bad itch
Throw in some mustard and some relish
Everyday is like a ball game
Got myself a white shirt with a chili stain”
They’d also drop two verses, all about chili of course, rapping the same way Aldean did back in 2011. Some of the highlights include taking a completely unwarranted shot at Chicago-style hotdogs, Bryan calling himself a “mother****** hot dog chili man” and Carmichael looking for a “chili wife.”
Of course, the comments on both Instagram and TikTok were having an absolute field day, trolling Aldean, Gilbert and even Adcock and laughing at the absurdity of the video itself.
“A song for Gavin Adcock fans to understand”
“Based off the TikToks I see this looks like a snippet from the All-American halftime show“
“This is my halftime show”
“I’ve heard enough, throw this on the radio“
“This is actually better than anything Kid Rock ever wrote”
“New bro country goes hard”
“One Nation Under Glizzys”
“THIS WILL HEAL AMERICA”
“This is the second biggest think since Creed’s 2001 Thanksgiving halftime performance”
At the end of the day, you can feel whichever type of way about Bryan’s music and him as a person. One thing you really can’t take away from him, at this point, is his trolling ability. From taking pictures with Trump and pissing off the Left to mocking Kid Rock and Aldean and pissing off the Right, it’s pretty clear that he truly does not care. It also helps that he’s pretty funny while doing these stunts.
