He just wants to know if rusting her sparkling summer was the goal.
Dave Portnoy invoked Taylor Swift while shading Zach Bryan in support of his recently dumped “BFFs” podcast co-host Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia.
Portnoy, who is a vocal Swiftie, took to X on Tuesday to post the lyric video for Swift’s blistering breakup song “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” shortly after Bryan announced his split from LaPaglia.
“Dedicating this to @BChickenfry,” the Barstool Sports founder, 47, captioned the YouTube link.
In the powerful ballad from this year’s “Tortured Poets Department” album, Swift, 34, sings about an ex-boyfriend while questioning how authentic their public relationship was behind closed doors.
Portnoy shared the pointed message just moments after Bryan, 28, confirmed he and LaPaglia, 25, had called it quits — an announcement she claimed to have been “blindsided” by.
“Brianna and me have broken up with eachother [sic] and I respect and love her with every ounce of my heart,” the “Something in the Orange” singer wrote on his Instagram Story earlier Tuesday. “She has loved me unconditionally for a very long time and for that I’ll always thank her.”
Bryan went on to cryptically write that he “had an incredibly hard year personally and struggled through some pretty severe things.”
“I thought it would be beneficial for both of us to go our different ways,” he added. “I am not perfect and never will be.”
Shortly after, LaPaglia released her own statement on her Instagram Story that read in part, “Hey guys I’m feeling really blindsided right now. Gonna hop off social media for a while and attempt to heal privately.”
The internet personality then posted an emotional YouTube video in which she sat on her bathroom floor and cried about her “heartbreaking” split.
“I just woke up to Zach posting on his Instagram that we broke up, and I had no idea that post was going up,” she claimed. “He didn’t text me, he didn’t call me.”
LaPaglia alluded to some of their relationship woes by asking her followers, “How can you give someone everything and love them so unconditionally through stuff that you shouldn’t … and then be discarded of in a few days?”
The exes first sparked breakup rumors on Monday when Reddit users posted screenshots of Bryan’s profile on celebrity dating app Raya.
The “PlanBri Uncut” podcaster threw fuel on the fire by sharing on Instagram a heartfelt poem she wrote that read in part, “Eventually you’ll find that life goes on / Even if you don’t want it to.”
A source told Page Six exclusively on Tuesday that Bryan and LaPaglia were “crazy about each other, but their relationship was always rocky.”
“His lifestyle is not conducive to a serious relationship,” the insider told us.
The pair began dating in July 2023 and made their red carpet debut at the 2024 Grammys in February.
