Zach Bryan Faces Plagiarism Accusations from Swifties

Zach Bryan is facing accusations of plagiarism from Taylor Swift's fans, known as Swifties, following his breakup with Brianna 'Chickenfry' LaPaglia, who recently alleged emotional abuse during an appearance on the BFFs podcast. Tensions between Bryan and Swifties reignited after Bryan tweeted a comparison favoring Kanye West over Swift, which he later admitted was a drunken mistake. Fans have pointed out similarities between several of Bryan's songs and Swift's, notably between 'Let You Down' and 'Should've Said No', as well as 'Pink Skies' and 'Betty', though many of these claims appear weak and based on common folk music elements. The backlash has intensified, with notable Swiftie Dave Portnoy publicly criticizing Bryan following LaPaglia's claims. Despite the heated social media debates, many of the alleged similarities do not hold substantial evidence for plagiarism. Bryan's representatives have yet to comment on the ongoing controversy.
