Florida Georgia Line Just Updated Their Social Media For The First Time In Years
I guess this is really happening.
At this point it seems like a Florida Georgia Line reunion is pretty much inevitable, four years after the duo called it quits back in 2022.
The group’s official Instagram account has remained dormant since May 26, 2023, when Brian Kelley used the duo’s account to promote his then-upcoming single “See You Next Summer.” But now, three years since that last post, there are signs of life once again.
Fans quickly noticed that their social media accounts have changed their profile pictures to a new logo that simply says “FGL LFG,” which obviously stands for “Let’s F—ing Go.”

And fans who were signed up to receive text messages and emails about the group also received an automated message:
“Turns out, some things are just better together. Much more to come. FGL LFG.”

I guess it’s really happening…
Of course Florida Georgia Line is one of the most successful heroes in the history of country music. But they were also a driving force behind one of the darkest periods of country music with the “bro-country” era. While they weren’t the only offenders, their shallow lyrics and pop-heavy production, as well as their success, made FGL the target of a lot of criticism and the face of a genre of country that often served as a punchline to critics of the genre.
But back in 2022, after years of declining sales of their new music and a changing sound in country music, Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley announced that they were bringing an end to FGL and would instead continue making music as solo artists.
At the time, there was a lot of speculation that the duo split due to political differences between the two after Hubbard unfollowed Kelley on social media during the 2020 election. (Hubbard and his wife Hayley supported Joe Biden, while Kelley and his wife Brittney supported Donald Trump).
The duo denied that their split had to do with politics, but it became clear that it was a nasty breakup between the two when both began telling their side of the story.
Hubbard, the “Georgia” half of FGL, made an appearance on the Bussin’ With the Boys podcast featuring Will Compton and Taylor Lewan last year, where he confirmed that he wasn’t speak much with his former bandmate and saying that the split caught him by surprise:
“For me it was really unexpected. But BK came to me and said, ‘Man I’m really feeling like I want to do a solo thing.’”
He also revealed that he tried to talk Kelley out of it, with the duo even going to therapy together to try to work through their issues. But turns out Kelley was adamant about it, though he still wanted to keep Florida Georgia Line together. Hubbard wasn’t going to do that though, and basically gave him an ultimatum: It was either FGL or solo, but not both.
“I don’t have capacity to do two careers. And also it’s going to get super sticky. When we’re writing songs, who are we writing for? When we got two show offers, an FGL date and a solo date, what are we taking?
I’m like, I don’t even logistically see how that would work, much less emotionally.”
Well, those comments didn’t sit well with Kelley, who was then given his own appearance on the podcast to tell his side of the story.
During his interview, Kelley confirmed a lot of what Hubbard had said: He wanted to release solo music, Hubbard didn’t see how it would work if they tried to have solo careers while also being a duo, and they ended up splitting.
But there were a lot of disagreements too.
Kelley says that there had been talks about doing solo music as far back as 2016, but that the two had agreed that they would wait until the end of their contract, and after the release of FGL’s fifth album, before pursuing these other avenues.
Well it turns out that, although Hubbard said he didn’t want them to pursue solo careers apart from FGL, he had actually gone behind Kelley’s back and recorded a song with Tim McGraw amidst the social unrest of 2020 – and when he told Kelley about the song, he also informed him that they would be performing it at Biden’s inauguration.
“Tyler had solo music out before I even did. Before we even got our fifth album out, he had released a couple songs, he had played Biden’s inauguration which was a huge look to be a solo act with Tim McGraw. He released another song. I didn’t start releasing music ’til April…
He was rockin’ at radio immediately, top of January of 2021 and I didn’t get music out ’til April and then the album in June.”
And Kelley says he was blindsided by Hubbard’s decision to make the first step to go solo with “Undivided,” the duet with Tim McGraw:
“Surprised. Shocked for sure. I thought we had a deal about what the plan was.
Going back to my main thing, is protecting FGL. I didn’t think that was a good look, if I’d have done it or if he did it.”
All that to say, it wasn’t an amicable split and there were plenty of hurt feelings on both sides of the Florida/Georgia line.
But over the past few months, there have been signs that the two have been working on healing their relationship. Hubbard and Kelley were spotted together at the CMA Awards last year for the first time, and during an appearance on the Human School Podcast late last year, Hubbard revealed that the two were actively working to repair their friendship and even had a hike planned together.
Then earlier this year they shared photos from the hike, and have shared pictures of themselves getting together a couple times since then.
The rumors reached a fever pitch when the duo reunited for the first time since the split to honor Jason Aldean during Broken Bow Records’ annual late night bash during Country Radio Seminar.
And last month, Hubbard confirmed that a reunion was in the cards and likely to happen next year:
“We have been toying around and flirting with the idea of playing a handful of shows next year …
No new FGL music at the moment… I do know that we’re kind of (excited about) the idea of playing shows together. Sounds like a lot of fun. We want to keep it low stress, and nothing but a good time…
I think for the world to experience a little taste of the emotion and healing that we’ve gotten to feel, it’s really special. It’s bigger than just us. It’s bigger than just the music, and it’s actually a story and a powerful testimony to grace and forgiveness and healing.”
It could also be the power of neither of them having much success on their own as solo artists…but hey, maybe that’s just the cynic in me.
Ready or not, it sounds like FGL is back.The post Florida Georgia Line Just Updated Their Social Media For The First Time In Years first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
