Morgan Wallen Wins the Hearts of Chiefs Fans, Zach Bryan "Turns His Back" on Kansas City

While Morgan Wallen appeared excitedly alongside Patrick Mahomes, proudly wearing a Kansas City Chiefs red jersey, fellow country star Zach Bryan sparked a stir on social media when he boldly declared that he would “never play a show in Kansas City.”

Images quickly circulated showing Wallen shaking hands with Mahomes in the Chiefs’ locker room, wearing the team’s No. 7 jersey with pride. For Chiefs fans, this was more than just a photo—it was a clear signal that Wallen is now part of the “Chiefs Kingdom” family. This small gesture earned him endless affection from the Kansas City football community.

In stark contrast, Zach Bryan took a different route... and it wasn’t a favorable one for Chiefs fans. In his latest tweets, Bryan didn’t hesitate to mock the three-time Super Bowl champions. From sarcastically asking, “Where are all the three-peat people from last year?” to firmly stating, “Please understand I will never play in Kansas City,” Bryan made his feelings known. He even humorously added that if he ever performed at the Chiefs’ home stadium, the referees would likely penalize him for a “taunting call” immediately after the show.

This contrast quickly sparked a heated debate online. On one side is Morgan Wallen—a country singer who’s building a friendly, approachable image and knows how to connect with local sports culture. On the other is Zach Bryan—straightforward, tough, and unafraid to voice opinions, even if it might cause controversy.

What’s interesting is that both artists are country music stars with massive fan followings. However, in Kansas City—a place where football is not just a sport but a point of pride—it’s clear that Wallen is scoring major points. The image of him smiling in his No. 7 jersey alongside Mahomes has gone viral, becoming a symbol of the powerful bond between music and sports.

This story highlights the strength of image and sports culture in America: just one simple moment can lead the public to “compare” two major stars. And at least for now, when it comes to winning the hearts of Chiefs fans, the answer is clear—Morgan Wallen > Zach Bryan, as the viral caption states.
