On his Instagram page over the weekend, Zach Bryan teased a raw and provocative new song titled, “the fading of the red white and blue.” The track features anti-ICE lyrics and themes critical of the current state of affairs in America, with provocative lyrics like “I’ve got some bad news/ The fading of the red, white, and blue,“ and “ICE is gonna come bust down your door,” alongside bleak imagery of frightened children and arrogant police officers. While there is no word on a full release, Bryan shared an audio snippet with the caption reflecting on the decline of American ideals. The country superstar has had a fluctuating history of engaging with politics, both in his music and through his social media, while this song seems to confront the current news headlines directly. On September 27, Bryan broke the record for the largest ticketed single-concert event with over 112,000 attendees at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor. (Consequence of Sound)
