Zach Bryan – Madeline (feat. Gabriella Rose)

Zach Bryan - Madeline (feat. Gabriella Rose)
Zach Bryan and Gabriella Rose deliver a heart-wrenching live version of **“Madeline”** at MetLife Stadium on July 19, 2025 – raw, intimate, and amplified for thousands but feeling like a whisper in your ear[1].

What starts as a hushed acoustic moment quickly expands—Zach’s voice trembling with longing as Gabriella Rose counters with echoing vulnerability. Together, they weave a plea that hits like a freight train:

“And, oh, Madeline, how you been? I’ve been waiting ’round to die again…”

The mood is electric—stadium-wide but soul-close—with no filters. The dual vocals, guitar, and hush-swell crowd response make it feel like a confession shared between friends in a darkened bar, not thousands of strangers under floodlights.

Final Verdict:

“Madeline” live in that moment is more than a duet—it’s a communion. Zach Bryan isn’t just playing a song—he’s unburying it, live, with all its aching, personal freight. And in that moment, you feel every abandoned motel, every ghost-laden highway, every heartbeat stretched thin by distance. That’s the power of this track, unleashed live.
