Can We Talk About How Disrespectful It Was To Gabriella Rose For Zach Bryan To Call Out Gavin Adcock In The Middle Of Her Set?

Not the time and place for that.

Of course by now everybody’s probably seen the video of the confrontation between Zach Bryan and Gavin Adcock over the weekend at Born & Raised Fest in Oklahoma.

Zach was at the festival in his home state for a surprise appearance with Gabriella Rose, but after he left the backstage area and while he was apparently on his way home he decided to stop and have words with Adcock, jumping over a barbed wire before being held back by security.

After it all went down, Gavin took to social media to tell his side of the story, explaining that Zach had been backstage all afternoon but didn’t decide to confront him until he was on his way home:

“He wasn’t locked out of the festival. He had been there all day with his multiple security guards. He saw me standing between my buses when he got here and saw me walk on my bus when I went to watch the Georgia game.

Proceeding to go to other artists and ask them, ‘Where’s Gavin? Where’s Gavin?’ And their guests, and treat them like dogs–t. Flipping them birds and saying just douchebag stuff to them all day. So he had plenty of opportunity through the whole day to do whatever he wanted to do. But decided he was going to wait like an hour before my set while I was standing out there.”

And apparently Gavin was on Zach’s mind all afternoon, because Zach decided to call out Adcock on stage during his surprise performance with Gabriella Rose.

While performing “Madeline,” his duet with Gabriella released earlier this year, Zach apparently thought that was the appropriate time to…taunt Gavin Adcock, not once but twice, including in the middle of the song:

Of course this didn’t get as much attention as his confrontation with Adcock did, but it seems incredibly disrespectful to Gabriella Rose to use her set to taunt somebody you have beef with.

I know Zach was doing a favor for a newer artist by showing up to perform with her, but to take the attention off of her set for your own personal drama is classless and immature. Gabriella Rose is a rising star, and one of the just a handful of female artists on the festival, and for a bigger artist like Zach to disrupt her set like that and draw attention to it for something unrelated to the music is completely disrespectful.

Now, I don’t know if Zach told Gabriella in advance that he was going to do that. Maybe she knew and was fine with it. But either way, why make her set about yourself?

Honestly, it makes it seem like the only reason he was at the festival was to harass Gavin. And maybe it’s some kind of turf thing, because Gavin was headlining a festival in his home state.

But regardless, it was a bad look from Zach to do that to a smaller artist and unfortunately thrust her into a feud that has nothing to do with her.

If there’s anything good that comes out of it though, hopefully people will dig into Gabriella’s catalog and discover some of her incredible music for themselves.
