Tyler Nance is a country music riser who has had some success out of the gate with his viral song “Keeps Me Sane.”
Nance was a guest on Taste of Country Nights where I learned some interesting things about the budding country star, one being that he is a huge Zach Bryan fan. Nance even credits him for making him want to get into country music himself.
But here’s where it gets a little hairy… Nance is about to embark on a huge tour as the opener for Gavin Adcock, whose beef with Bryan has become national news.
Will It Be Awkward For Tyler Nance — A Huge Zach Bryan Fan — To Tour With Gavin Adcock?
As soon as he and I talked about his love for Bryan, I asked him if it was going to be weird going on tour with Bryan’s nemesis.
Nance smiled and said “I don’t think I have to take sides.”
“They’re their own people they have their own opinions on each other,” the singer continued.”My relationship with one and my relationship with the other… it can stay fine. It can be a good relationship.”

I asked Nance if he was going to talk to Adcock about the infamous fence video, where Bryan tried to hop a fence backstage at a show to fight Adcock. “Probably not. I don’t think there’s any reason to,” he replied.
Nance was hype about the upcoming tour with Adcock, saying “That tour is going to be really fun. I think my audience and his audience can go with one another.”
What is the Beef Between Zach Bryan and Gavin Adcock About?
The beef between country singers Zach Bryan and Gavin Adcock stems from Bryan’s harsh response to a young fan, which escalated into public trash-talking and a volatile backstage altercation.

The beef started in July 2025, when Bryan expressed frustration at a fan who was disappointed that he didn’t stop for a picture after a show. Adcock chimed in, railing against Bryan for not being kinder to the fans who pay to see him play.
Bryan also used the phrase “GOMD” (which stands for “get off my d–k) toward the fan, and Adcock took particular offense to Bryan using that phrase to a fan who stated that they were 14 years old.
And things escalated from there: On a podcast, Adcock said he didn’t think Bryan was “that great of a person,” and that he “puts on a big mask” to the public.
The summer weather isn’t the only thing heating up. Stay tuned for more as the saga continues to unfold.
