A part of a song by the controversial singer -songwriter Zach Bryan is generating controversy on social networks and receiving praise from the critics of the Trump administration after the artist published a progress of a minute that referred to the raids of the Immigration and Customs Control Service and the “Red, White and Blue Drugs”.
Key data
Bryan, more famous for his melancholic melodies “Submithing in the Orange” and “I Remember Eventhing”, recently published an audio clip of a minute of an unpublished song called “Bad News” that seems to point to the tactics used by ICE under President Donald Trump, singing that the agency “will come to break down your door.”
The song continues to say “The children are scared and alone” and refers to the changes that are happening in the United States, including a wink to their mentor and critic of Trump, Bruce Springsteen (“the boss stopped colliding/the rock stopped shooting”).

Bryan’s position is being seen as surprisingly liberal for a star of modern country music and the song has spread widely in Tiktok in videos that have accumulated millions of visits and attracted thousands of comments, in much of fans who support their apparent criticism of ICE.
Before advancing “Bad News,” Bryan insisted that his music is not political and described himself as a libertarian.
Bryan has not announced a launch date for a complete version of “Bad News.”

Cita Crucial
“The more a person includes politics in his life, beyond voting, I realize that he has nothing more interesting to do or say,” Bryan said in an X publication last year, which he then eliminated.
Main critic
John Rich, half of the Country Big and Rich music duo, seemed to be the first star to attack Bryan after announcing the new song. “Who is ready for the tour of Zach Bryan and the Dixie Chicks? Probably Bud Light sponsored a lot this time,” he tweeted. The publication referred to the consequences suffered by the band Dixie Chicks, now known as The Chicks, after the criticisms of the group to George W. Bush in 2003 and the boycott of the Bud Light brand after its association with the creator of transgender content Dylan Mulvaney in 2023. He also published “Nashville is full of types like this” been “invaded during the last 15 years by liberals of other states … as lobsters.”
What to pay attention to
If the song causes more anger on the right. Musicians who have spoken against the Trump administration in recent years have received criticism from Maga supporters. In May, the musician Neil Young launched a new song criticizing Elon Musk and was branded as a bitter liberal. ” Last year, the Green Day band updated the lyrics of their 2004 song “American Idiot” to say “I am not part of the Maga Agenda” and was harshly criticized by Fox News commentators.
