Ashley McBryde Wears Comically Large Bra While Performing “Brenda Put Your Bra On”
No wonder Brenda is being told to put her bra on.
Ashley McBryde is a top-notch performer, and her ability to have fun with her music is one of the things that sets her apart from most of her peers. Especially being able to have fun with this song, McBryde showed the audience that she knows how to lean into the witty aspect of her songwriting.
In 2022, Ashley McBryde released Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville, an honest record that detailed living in a small town, some of its odd characters, and the experiences that come with it. As you move through the tracklist, you can hear that McBryde and her co-writers let their imagination run wild when curating this fictional town in all of its Podunk glory... it's a truly outstanding project.
It's still one of my favorite concept albums three years after its release.
One of the album's tracks that genuinely represents what living in BFE is like is "Brenda Put Your Bra On." The song features McBryde, Caylee Hammack, and Pillbox Patti hilariously detailing how fast gossip spreads, especially when a cheating scandal is involved. Even if you think you are keeping the gossip among friends, the UPS man soon knows about your drama and spreads it to two counties over.
"Brenda, put your bra on, there's trouble next doorGrab a pack of cigarettes, and meet me on the porchMarvin baby mama 'bout to catch him with a whoreBrenda, put your bra on (bra on, bra on)
I knew she shouldn't let that b*tch watch her babyI used to work with her at the KrystalShe always got them good shifts just 'cause she had good titsAnd cut her shirts off at the middle...."
When sh*t starts to go down in the town, all the locals put their bras and slippers on to watch it all unfold from their front porch. McBryde made the song come to life when she released the music video for the cheeky song, and she continues to do so in her live show.
When opening for Cody Johnson in Charlottesville, Virginia, recently, McBryde wore the bra Brenda might have been wearing in the song. While it's hard to reenact a cheating scandal while singing on stage, you can wear a massive bra, and that's precisely what McBryde did.
As she sings the tune, McBryde puts on a lacey red bra that is so large it covers her entire torso. Honestly, I didn't even know they made them that big. The moment is hilarious and definitely left the audience with a smile on their faces. McBryde even pulled out a few dance moves before the song concluded.
McBryde is one of the most bad a** women in the business who proves time and time again that she can lay down a killer tune while not taking herself too seriously.
Check it out.
