Zach Bryan didn't hesitate to clap back at a “Karen” after his Nebraska concert was cut short due to weather.
On Sunday, April 26, the country singer, 30, was forced to delay and shorten his With Heaven on Tour show at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln due to less-than-ideal weather conditions.
"I'm sorry for cutting the set short tonight," Bryan wrote on X alongside a photo of his setlist typed into a text message. "[Lightning] came in fast! We only missed the last six! I love you guys, the rain was a blast."
Moments later, the "I Remember Everything" singer shared another photo of a huge lightning strike crossing the sky above the concert venue, with the crowds and stage illuminated underneath.

"There were f—n lighting bolts??" he captioned the post. "Above?? Our?? Heads??"
While many fans acknowledged that the shortened set was not in Bryan's control, one social media user expressed their disappointment in how the Grammy Award winner handled the situation.
"What a scum response to a fan who probably waited all night to see you and the opening artists," they wrote on X. "I paid over a thousand dollars to see this show and waited in my car for over 4 hours. Minimal communication by the stadium and zach bryan himself. Ridiculous."
In response, Bryan simply brushed off the comment by quipping, "Karen ahhhh tweet."
Before the concert was scheduled to begin, the musician shared frequent updates on social media regarding the "impending thunder storms" that ultimately delayed the show.

"Tour in the spring they said, it'll be fun they said," he wrote. "Thank you to the Husker faculty and fans for being patient and working their butts off to make sure the show still happens. We'll make it worth it! Owe you guys so big!"
Bryan later went on to clarify that the show's delays were not due to his reluctance to perform in the rain, but rather for the safety of everyone involved.
"To be clear we've never been scared of rain in our life," he wrote. "We just gotta avoid the lightening for the safety of everyone."
Earlier this month, Bryan was forced to cancel his headlining show in Tulsa, Okla., for the first time ever due to severe weather.
"I pissed off plenty [of] people this morning trying to ‘play anyways,'" he wrote in an Instagram caption at the time. "If I had ANY say in this, things would be different. I apologize and I love all of ya."
"I've never canceled a show in my life but I unfortunately don't have a choice in the matter," he added. "We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding."
