This was always true of Brianna, whose highly successful podcast on Barstool Sports captures listeners across the world. Brianna Chickenfry, as some refer to her as, also gained mass attention when entering a year-long relationship with country superstar Zach Bryan.
Who is Brianna LaPaglia?
She keeps the momentum of fame through her candid, relatable, and often humorous videos on platforms like TikTok. Brianna shares stories about her life, relationships, and nightlife. Her nickname “Chickenfry” came from her TikTok handle, and it stuck as her brand identity as she rose to fame.
