Zach Bryan and Brianna LaPaglia make red carpet debuts at the 2024 Grammys
Zach Bryan and girlfriend Brianna “Kip” LaPaglia heated up the 2024 Grammys red carpet.
The couple arrived at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sunday, February 4, and shared a sweet kiss while posing for the cameras. Bryan, 27, wore an all-black suit, while LaPaglia, 24, stunned in a navy blue corset dress with matching lace gloves.
Bryan is up for three awards at the Grammys, including Best Country Album, Best Country Song and Best Country Duo/Group Performance. He was nominated for his first Grammy last year for Best Country Solo Performance, but ultimately lost out Chris Stapleton.
Although Bryan has achieved success on the charts, he has also faced his fair share of controversies. In September 2023, Bryan was arrested in Oklahoma on charges of “obstruction of investigation” at the Craig County Jail. He was released on bail several hours after the arrest.
“I went to jail, they didn't play favorites,” he shared in a September 2023 Instagram video. “I was an idiot today and my decisions didn't reflect who I was as a person and I just want to make that clear and I had have to be smarter about it.”
Bryan claimed that a previous incident contributed to his behavior on the day of his arrest. He recalled driving through a “small town in Oklahoma” when he was pulled over for driving “four or five times [miles per hour] about [the speed limit].”
After refusing to hand over his driver's license and registration because he didn't feel “comfortable,” he was handcuffed. While he was let go, Bryan said he left the situation “frustrated.” Days later, he was arrested when he got into another fight with an additional officer who had detained his guard.
“I just didn't help my situation at all, I felt like a child. It was ridiculous, it was immature,” he said. “And I pray that everyone knows that I don't think I'm above the law. I was just being disrespectful and I shouldn't have been. … In reality, they were just doing their job.”
