Bryan Andrews has made quite the impression on country fans on social media.
The rising country singer is known for his fiery, left-leaning political views.
He speaks his mind on TikTok, to his over three million followers, and Instagram, to his over one million followers, not holding anything back about his political thoughts and beliefs.
In an Instagram video, Andrews pulled back the curtain and revealed a truth some other country artists might hide from the general public. Most country stars go through this early on in their careers, but a lot of them would find it too embarrassing to talk about.

A fan commented on one of his videos saying “the 200 people in the crowd go wild,” implying that his shows have no fans at them.
Why is Bryan Andrews Proud of Only Selling 200 Tickets?
Andrews responds “You know what’s funny about this? You think that’s a dig at me that I can only sell 200 tickets, but it’s not and I’ll tell ya why.”
“Here’s something that no other artist in a million years would think about telling you. About a year and a half ago I put together a tour in eight different cities across the Midwest,” he continues.
“Out of those eight shows, you know how many we had to cancel over low demand? Six. One of those cities was Chicago, Illinois.” Chicago is one of the Top 5 most populous cities in America, and it has a strong music scene.

Here’s where he gets fully transparent. Andrews says, “I promoted these shows for two months. You wanna know how many tickets we sold in Chicago before we finally decided to cancel that show? Two.”
Andrews holds up two fingers in the video to represent the number of fans who decided to purchase tickets.
“Fast forward to now,” Andrews says that in the first two weeks of tickets being on sale for another show, “in that same city of Chicago, Illinois, we have sold over 100 tickets.”
“You can say whatever you want to about me, you can call me a fat f—, or whatever the f— it is that you’re gonna call me in the comment section,” he concludes. “But the one thing you’ll never be able to say is that I don’t want you to know exactly who the f— I am, or where the f— I stand before you ever buy tickets to my shows, or listen to my f—–g music.”
