ZB and bri have ruined each other for me
I used to be fans of both before they started dating. I was actually so hype when they first started dating bc my two worlds were colliding. Since they've been together though, I feel like they've just brought out the worst aspects of each other. It's pretty obvious as a long time fan of bri that she switched her entire brand like overnight when they started dating. Then, she got a big head when she used to flaunt her humility, which was disappointing. Now, she's never with Grace and she's honestly horrible at her job. She doesn't post consistently on TikTok (which was once her main platform), if she does it isn't funny or relatable. Her posts are either about Zach, arguing with randos on the internet, dog content, and either showing off her life or complaining about her life (also now reading (?) I don't even count it bc it's like the most popular books ever but good for her ig).
I understand growing up and your interests changing. However, it's like okay I followed her bc she was fun/funny, seemed like a good friend, and posted funny/entertaining/relatable videos and now I feel like I'm watching a millionaire retiree's day to day life. And not even in a fun way. In a way that makes me angry and makes me hate rich people. she seems like someone pissed in her cereal on every podcast ep and gives absolutely nothing in terms of entertainment. It's frustrating as a fan to watch someone make so much money when you know they're not even trying anymore. She doesn't try at all to be likable because she doesn't need to anymore. Influencers usually have to be likable bc that's what they get paid for, but she's dating like the biggest country artist rn which automatically gives her followers and secures her money (while she's with him) so she can say fuck off to us, which she has!
It's also made me like Zach less, because I know it's his behavior she's copying. I know he's the type of guy to be like "fuck anyone who says you're wrong" which I get, but when your job is based on having fans of your personality that really can't be your attitude ( I also have a threory Zach is kinda trying to sabotage her individual career subconsciously. this theory isn't based in much fact or reality but I believe it w my whole heart and will elaborate further for fun if anyone is interested). I also don't like Zach bc after being a fan of his gf before they started dating, I can just tell he is the controlling and obsessive boyfriend that every girl loses a friend to for a few years. Genuinely he reminds me exactly of my ex. Whenever I hear his music now all I can think is "and the girl he's singing about no longer does anything by herself and hasn't seen her friends in months" and it makes me hate him and it just makes me sad.
This is definitely not a healthy mindset to have over people I've never met but I can't sleep and I listened to ZB's new album and I was like damn this music is good but I don't like it anymore. SO the next logical step was to type out my feelings and post it to a bunch of strangers who also hate these people.
