Zach Bryan has been blazing his own trail in country music since his viral 2022 hit “Something in the Orange.” Having just turned 30, Bryan took to social media to reflect on his journey thus far. Read on to discover what the country star had to say.
Country Star Zach Bryan Says He Never Thought He’d Make It to 30
In a recent Instagram post, Zach Bryan reflected on his journey to 30. Paired with a carousel of photos, the country star started out his reflection post, writing, “I turned 30 last weekend and had two shows back home in Oklahoma.”
He continued, “Reckon 30 is strange ‘cause you ain’t old and you definitely ain’t young. When I was 27 I figured I’d never make it to 30 but there I was, playing football & flyin RC planes around with my family in a field after making it there.”
Zach Bryan Thanks Oklahoma For Welcoming Him Back Home
While past birthdays have been hard for the country star, he added, “This year felt more fun because I was with people I actually liked, doing things I actually enjoy in the place I’s raised.”
He continued, “The crowd was electric even though I thought Oklahoma disowned me. But it was still home, and my people were still my people.”
The country star ended his message, writing, “No matter who’s saying what, I feel at peace with myself and the world for once, and that was worth every shitty day. You can still come home. Thank you, Oklahoma, for making my birthday so special. I love ya forever.”
