Zach Bryan recently thought Oklahoma was going to disown him. The country singer was supposed to play two concerts at the H.A. Chapman Stadium.

Unfortunately, he was forced to cancel that first appearance. Weather forced his hand, and he reluctantly didn't perform. Fortunately, he was able to perform one show in his home state.
But the cancellation obviously still stung a bit as Bryan went to celebrate his 30th birthday. Taking to Instagram, Bryan reflected on the cancellation and hoped his state could forgive him.
He said, "I turned 30 last weekend and had two shows back home in Oklahoma. Reckon 30 is strange 'cause you ain't old and you definitely ain't young. When I was 27, I figured I'd never make it to 30. But there I was, playing football and flying RC planes around with my family in a field after making it there."
Zach Bryan on Birthday
Bryan continued, "That night it thunder stormed and the winds were upwards of 70 miles an hour. There was that old smell in the air like water. And grass that reminds you of childhood. And Sammy and me were bunkered down with our pups in our tour bus."
The singer also reflected on birthdays of years past.
Bryan explained, "Every year I've had a wild party with copious amounts of booze and bowling, T.I. played one year and Creed played another and we would always be out all night and I'd get so tossed I couldn't remember anything anyways. This year felt more fun because I was with people I actually liked, doing things I actually enjoy in the place I was raised."
Most of all, Bryan was thankful for his home state and the opportunity to play for them.
He said, "The crowd was electric even though I thought Oklahoma disowned me after the whole 'Bad News' Fox News bulls**t but it was still home and my people were still my people. No matter who's saying what, I feel at peace with myself in the world for once and that was worth every sh***y day. You can still come home. Thank you Oklahoma for making my birthday so special."
