Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia was top of mind for Zach Bryan as he recorded his new album.
In blistering lyrics off of “Heaven on Top,” out Friday, the country singer seemingly blasted his ex-girlfriend in multiple songs.
The first apparent diss came in “Skin,” with Bryan crooning about “never touching” someone’s skin again — and “taking a blade to” his own tattoo to “drain the blood between me and you.”
“How do tattoos take to your skin?” he continued. “Does your higher ground ever sink in? / Do you love people just to win when it’s over?”
LaPaglia, notably, has “How lucky are we?” tattooed on her arm, which Bryan later included as a line in “28.”
Elsewhere in his new song, Bryan asked, “Do you still talk s–t on all of your friends? / Need to take it all to the chin this time stone-cold sober.”
The Grammy winner, who boasted two months of sobriety in November 2025, seemingly referenced the former couple’s 2023 meet-cute — in Queens after a concert — in “Plastic Cigarettes.”
“You were collecting shells out on the bay shore / You know I was a shell before,” he sang. “Deep in the hands of another / My brother had told me to leave / But I didn’t believe the evil beneath some people you meet out in Queens.”
He and the Barstool Sports personality called it quits in October 2024, with LaPaglia subsequently accusing her ex of emotional abuse — and of offering her $12 million to stay quiet about their time together.
LaPaglia, who refused the money, is a social media influencer, which Bryan appeared to diss in “Slicked Back.”
He seemingly compared LaPaglia to his wife, Samantha Leonard, whose art he has previously shown off, by singing, “Used to know some folks who put it all online but you paint landscapes in the evening time.”
In the same song, he continued, “You’re so cool in my living room / And when you talk trash with your hair slicked back / When I get to hell or heaven, can I bring my girl? / ’Cause she likes romance, good sex, music and ruling the world.”
Reps for LaPaglia and Bryan have yet to respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
Bryan married Leonard, 28, in December 2025 in Spain, five months after going public with their romance.
He also gushed over his partner in “Runny Eggs” as he mentioned his desire to “find a lady with some big old Spanish eyes” in Pamplona, where the duo went Instagram-official over the summer.
The songwriter recorded his sixth album “across three different houses in Oklahoma this winter,” writing via Instagram on Friday that the record “freed” him.
While LaPaglia has yet to react the diss tracks, she did tease a new romance via TikTok on Thursday.
“Guys, I have a boy coming to stay with me next weekend,” she told her followers. “We have a lot to talk about.”
Earlier this month, she poked fun at her ex’s marriage with Taylor Swift’s “Mastermind” lyrics, lip-syncing, “Checkmate, I couldn’t lose.”
