Zachary Bryan ditches CMA Awards after break-up scandal

Zachary Bryan decided to ditch the Country Music Awards on Wednesday after he made headlines due to his separation with ex girlfriend Brianna LaPaglia. 

The 28-year-old singer was notably absent from the ceremony, despite being nominated for Musical Event of the Year alongside Kacey Musgraves for their duet I Remember Everything.

However, the award was taken home by Ella Langley and Riley Green for You Look Like You Love Me. 

Instead, the country music singer opted for a quiet evening at home with his Labrador, Jack Daniels.

He shared a photo on his Instagram story of the two at a rocky beach, enjoying the view while Bryan held his dog’s leash.

The Revival singer has remained quiet since confirming his split from LaPaglia last month.

"Brianna and I have broken up with each other and I respect and love her with every ounce of my heart," he shared on Instagram at the time.

"She has loved me unconditionally for a very long time and for that I’ll always thank her."

The 25-year-old internet personality has since made alleged accusations of emotional abuse against the singer.
