Zach Bryan Teases “Nine Ball” Collaboration With A-List Actor Matthew McConaughey

While once serving in the Navy, Zach Bryan used his time in the armed forces to polish his songwriting skills. Eventually leaving the military, the singer sought a life in music with his debut album DeAnn in 2019. Using an Airbnb as a recording studio, the musician watched as he transitioned from a fan of country music to a symbol of the genre. Winning the Top New Artist award at the Billboard Music Awards, the singer hopes to bring home a Grammy in 2024. And wasting no time in the new year, Bryan recently revealed his new music video featuring Matthew McConaughey. 

Just a few weeks ago, Bryan shared a collage of photos on Instagram that showed the singer enjoying some time with the A-list actor. At the time, he captioned the post with, “Thank you for being so kind and open-hearted these past few days @officiallymcconaughey; for all the advice and believing in something I cared enough to write about, you’ll always have a friend in me and for once it was an honor to meet a hero.
