Ryan Upchurch, a comedian, and social media influencer became well-known around 2014 after starting to post a series of Upchurch Talks videos on YouTube.
Around the same time, he developed Upchurch the Redneck, a parody of the eccentricities and clichés of young men in the Deep South, as his Hick-Hop alter ego. Since then, he has released numerous musical works both under his name and his contentious stage persona.
The native of Nashville now has an impressive 2.38 million YouTube subscribers and a popular apparel line called RHEC, which is named after his hit song Raise Hell and Eat Cornbread.
Ryan’s impact extends beyond YouTube to other parts of the internet, including Facebook and Twitter, where he regularly updates his wife-to-be on his upcoming marriage.

Upchurch- Birth, Age
Ryan, who was born on May 24, 1991, in Pegram, Tennessee, grew up with his brother Austen in a middle-class home. He has always acknowledged his privileges, unlike his forebears, Hick-Hops acts who were exposed for lying about their upbringing. His insecurity was on full display when he shared a sample of his brand-new song with the caption:
“Bills were paid, but my parents were still barely making ends meet as I grew up.
Even though I didn’t have much growing up, I had excellent friends and fun moments, and my song is about those things.”
Ryan, who is 27 years old, is a live example of what it means to be successful without putting on a show. Rapper Heart Of America views his work as an end in and of itself rather than merely a way to make ends meet.
Engagement With Fiancée, Brianna Vanvleet, Canceled
Call it a Freudian slip or a subliminal signal that he and his future wife Brianna Vanvleet had broken up, but when Ryan mentioned his “girlfriend” in a tweet, many of his admirers didn’t take it seriously.
The Keep It Country singer tweeted about beating up his girlfriend’s Mexican tutor on April 23, 2018, without providing any explanation. The engagement between Ryan and his girlfriend/fiance Brianna Vanvleet had to have been called off if one were to accept his tweet at face value.
Many of his fans were shocked by the discovery because the Hick-Hop singer had previously waxed poetic about his and Brianna’s upcoming marriage. He tweeted on June 10th, 2016, demonstrating his eagerness:
I’m so excited to marry you, Brianna Vanvleet, and have tiny brown Upchurch babies running around with phony tattoos all over them.
Ryan found a touching Facebook post about her Brianna in 2015 by going further back in time. He claimed that she was always the first thought that crossed his mind in it. Once more, he made a point to mention the “little Upchurch’s” they would eventually have.
Meet Taylor Eileen Smith, the spouse of Ryan Upchurch
Many people may have assumed Taylor was the person he was referring to when he said she was his girlfriend, but that is untrue. Only in 2020 did Ryan and his future wife begin dating. On July 10, 2020, they got engaged after a few months. He posted a private photo of himself and his fiancée wearing an enormous diamond ring on Instagram.
The couple finally took the plunge and got hitched on September 18, 2020. Haylee Dickerson, Lexi Dunfee, and Makayla Hassler, three of Taylor’s closest friends, served as bridesmaids, and her older sister Ashley Smith served as maid of honor.
Upchurch- Relationship, Girlfriend
The couple immediately turned low-key about their relationship even though congrats and well wishes were on the way. They withdrew the images they had shared when it had become so bad. The musician then began marketing his new music on each of his social media accounts.
On Instagram, Ryan even unfollowed his wife. This had given hints that their relationship would end. Taylor’s post on February 1 added to the certainty. She uploaded her daughter’s video and labeled it as follows:
“Please refrain from enquiring as to our relationship status.
My child is the subject of this post.”
We did not notice any romantic posts from the pair for the most recent Valentine’s Day. Taylor didn’t even bother to post anything that day, while Ryan was seen having a good time at a party with his mates. The pair may have split up, but nothing can be confirmed with certainty because they haven’t discussed it openly.
