Tyler Hubbard Vs. Brian Kelley
After Brian Kelly and his wife, Brittney Kelley, expressed support for Donald Trump during the 2020 presidential election, Tyler Hubbard and his wife, Hayley Hubbard, unfollowed his Florida Georgia Line on Instagram.
“I unfollowed BK for a few days while we were through this political, you know, in the middle of this election and everything going on,” Tyler, who vocally supported Joe Biden in the election, told Storme Warren on his SiriusXM show at the time. “And even called him and told him, I said, ‘Hey buddy, I love you. And I love you a lot more in real life than on your Stories right now. So I’m just going to, so that’s why I’m unfollowing you. Nothing personal. I still love you. You’re still my brother.’ I just didn’t want to see it every time I opened Instagram. And so it wasn’t a big deal.”
While the musicians downplayed the drama at the time, both Brian and Tyler launched solo careers and admitted they didn’t know the future of Florida Georgia Line in May 2022.
Their feud seemingly reached new heights in March 2024 when Brian released his song “Kiss My Boots,” as its lyrics hinted at his former bandmate.
“You’ve been throwin’ dirt on my name ’round this town like it ain’t small / Like your friends ain’t my friends, and I wouldn’t end up hearin’ it all / I fell on the sword, but only the good Lord knows the hell that you put me through / Sober me would never tell, but tonight I’m on the Tennessee Truth,” Brian sang, adding, “I’m crankin’ Hank, drinkin’ Jack, airin’ out the past / Want the world to know that you did me wrong / I don’t know how you act sweet, after how you did me / Here’s a middle finger to you through a song.”
In the music video accompanying the track, Brian was seen cutting an apple with a knife and his “Florida” belt buckle was in the shot. Fans took it as a sign that he was ending things with Tyler, as Brian represented the Florida side of the duo to Tyler’s Georgia.
