“Guys, a whole ass spider climbed on me during my set last night and I stopped mid-set to swat it off of me,” he wrote. “I was scared to make a big deal of it because NOBODY saw it but here it is in all her glory—it was massive.” The video shows the spider scurrying across Bryan’s chest and up his shoulder while he continues to perform, showcasing his composure despite the unexpected visitor.

Expressing his love and admiration, Bryan added, “I love you, Brianna. I pray I get to say all this after 25 more.” The touching message highlights Bryan’s deep appreciation for his partner amidst his busy touring schedule and rising stardom.
