Zach Bryan and Brianna LaPaglia, known as Brianna Chickenfry, made headlines with their messy breakup, and now, Zach Bryan’s new album Heaven on Top seems to address the split in the song “Skin.”
The song includes lyrics like “I’m taking a blade to my old tattoos / I’m draining the blood between me and you / I’m taking a blade to my own skin / And I ain’t never touching yours again / Yeah, I ain’t never touching yours again,” which fans speculate are aimed at his ex, Brianna Chickenfry.
The breakup between Bryan and LaPaglia unfolded on social media in late 2024, with LaPaglia sharing her side of the story in a tearful video after waking up to find out about their split online, rather than directly from Bryan himself.
Following their breakup, LaPaglia decided to keep the matching tattoo she got with Bryan that read “How lucky are we?” despite their split, as she clarified in a TikTok video posted in November 2024.
A year later, Zach Bryan married Samantha Leonard in Spain, moving on from his past relationship with Brianna LaPaglia.
Ultimately, the messy split between Zach Bryan and Brianna Chickenfry seems to have inspired Bryan’s new music, creating a powerful narrative of heartbreak and moving on.
