Zach Bryan famously remembers everything, and now he’s using it all to burn his ex, Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia. Bryan released his newest album, With Heaven on Top, on January 9, just one week after he revealed on Instagram that he’d married his current girlfriend, Samantha Leonard. The record is both a celebration of his newfound joy with Leonard and a celebration that he’s no longer with an ex (they broke up more than a year ago) who he continually disses. On the song “Slicked Back,” he even directly compares the two. “Used to know some folks who put it all online / But you paint landscapes in the evening time,” he sings. LaPaglia is an influencer and podcast host of Plan Bri on the Barstool Sports network, while Leonard apparently paints (as seen on Bryan’s Instagram). Nothing more romantic than comparing your current wife to your successful ex-girlfriend!
He goes into more detail about regretting his time with LaPaglia on a few additional tracks. “I’m taking a blade to my own skin / And I ain’t ever touching yours again,” he sings on “Skin,” for example. “How do tattoos take to your skin? / Does your higher ground ever sink in? / Do you love people just to win when it’s over?” Presumably, he’s referencing the tattoo that LaPaglia claimed he got of her before they even started dating.
“Plastic Cigarette” sounds like an ode to a bad relationship. “You were collecting shells out on the bay shore / You know I was a shell before,” he sings. “Deep in the hands of another / My brother had told me to leave / But I didn’t believe / That evil would mean some people you meet out in Queens.” LaPaglia and Bryan met in Queens originally, when she went to his concert at Forest Hills Stadium. LaPaglia hasn’t acknowledged the mentions yet — according to her social media, she is busy perfecting her matcha recipe.
