Brianna LaPaglia Credits Zach Bryan Breakup for Turning Her into a Swiftie: “Very Grateful That I Have Found Taylor Swift”
Breakups are rarely easy, but for Brianna LaPaglia, her recent split from country music sensation Zach Bryan came with an unexpected silver lining: a newfound love for Taylor Swift’s music. In a candid revelation, LaPaglia—best known as a vibrant social media personality and podcaster—opened up about how the end of her relationship with Bryan led her to discover the emotional solace and power of Swift’s music.
“I’m very grateful that I have found Taylor Swift,” LaPaglia shared during a recent interview. “It’s strange how heartbreak can open doors you never expected. If you’d told me a year ago that I’d be blasting All Too Well on repeat, I wouldn’t have believed you. But here I am, and honestly, it’s been a blessing.”
From Heartache to Healing
LaPaglia and Bryan were a beloved couple in the eyes of fans, often sharing glimpses of their relationship online. However, as their love story came to an end, LaPaglia found herself seeking comfort and understanding in music. That’s when Taylor Swift entered her world.
“I had heard of Taylor Swift, of course—who hasn’t? But I never really listened to her,” LaPaglia admitted. “After the breakup, I kept hearing people talk about her songs being so relatable. So, one night, I decided to give her a chance. I started with Red and couldn’t stop.”
LaPaglia described Swift’s music as a lifeline, helping her process the whirlwind of emotions she was experiencing. From the raw vulnerability of tracks like All Too Well to the empowering anthems of 1989, Swift’s lyrics struck a chord.
A Silver Lining
While breakups are often seen as an end, LaPaglia is framing hers as a beginning. “I’ve found a community of people who also resonate with her music. It’s not just about the heartbreak—it’s about growth, self-reflection, and even celebrating the good moments. Taylor captures all of that.”
She also took a moment to thank her ex, albeit indirectly, for leading her to Swift’s music. “I don’t think I would’ve discovered her if not for this chapter in my life. So, in a way, I have Zach to thank for that.”
Joining the Swiftie Nation
LaPaglia has now fully embraced her new identity as a Swiftie, even sharing her favorite tracks and albums on social media. Fans of both LaPaglia and Swift have celebrated this transformation, with many sharing similar stories of finding solace in Swift’s music during tough times.
As LaPaglia moves forward, she’s optimistic about what the future holds—both for her personal life and her growing appreciation of music that speaks to the heart. “I don’t know what’s next for me, but I do know one thing: Taylor Swift will be there, singing me through it.”
Sometimes, heartbreak doesn’t just break us—it helps us rebuild. For Brianna LaPaglia, the pain of a breakup led to an entirely new love story: one with music
