Bryan’s arrest was the cherry on top of a busy week for the singer.
He reached No.1 on the Billboard Artist 100 chart, the Billboard 200 album chart, and the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Preorders also began for tickets to Bryan’s The Quittin Time tour the same day as his arrest.
While he was released soon after, the 27-year-old’s mugshot already exploded on social media prompting many different reactions from fans.
“If Zach Bryan doesn’t use his mugshot as his next album cover, that’s a missed opportunity,” Twitter user Texas Red said.
“Zach Bryan got a No. 1 album, No. 1 single and mugshot all in one week,” commenter Nicholas Hautman said.
Many fans called for Bryan to start selling shirts with his mugshot on them.
“I’m obsessed with how many times I’ve seen Zach Bryan’s mugshot today. Give me it on a T shirt. Inject it into my veins,” Twitter user Melon said.

Reactions weren’t all positive, however.
Many fans were either upset with how the singer handled his arrest or confused as to why it got so much attention.
“Zach Bryan’s mugshot did make me like him more but then he posted a groveling apology to the police and we’re back to square one,” Eric Bennett said.
“I love Zach Bryan as much as the next person but if I open one more social media app and see his mug shot all over it I’m gonna have a brain aneurysm. It is not that significant,” Court Rhodes said.
The arrest wasn’t the first taste of controversy that Bryan has had in recent months.
In April, the singer publicly supported transgender people and found himself in a feud with other country singers.
“Insulting transgender people is completely wrong,” Bryan said on Twitter.
“We live in a country where we can all just be who we want to be.”
Bryan released a statement on Twitter following his arrest apologizing for the incident.
“Today I had an incident with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. Emotions got the best of me and I was out of line in the things I said. I support law enforcement as much as anyone can, I was just frustrated in the moment, it was unlike me and I apologize,” he wrote on Twitter.
Bryan also posted a five-minute video speaking about the arrest.
