Jason Aldean is facing backlash for his controversial music video “Try That In A Small Town.” Despite the criticism, country musician Travis Tritt has shown his support for Aldean and advised him to ignore the negativity. Taking to Twitter, Tritt reminded Aldean that social media is not a true representation of the majority of the population, and that he should stay true to himself despite the noise.
Tritt expressed his love for Aldean’s single and stated that it does not promote violence, but rather reflects the shared belief of many Americans who are opposed to the violence seen in recent years. He defended Aldean against criticism from singer Sheryl Crow, who called the video “lame” and accused it of promoting violence. Tritt responded by questioning Crow’s silence on the violence caused by BLM and Antifa riots.
In response to a tweet suggesting Aldean should apologize, Tritt confidently stated that Aldean would not bend the knee. Aldean himself has stood firm in releasing the video, clarifying that it does not reference race or promote lynching. He emphasized the importance of respecting others’ interpretations of music while asserting that some criticisms go too far. Aldean also reminded his followers of his personal connection to mass violence, having been present during the Route 91 Harvest music festival shooting in Las Vegas in 2017.
Aldean’s song “Try That In A Small Town” reflects the sense of community he experienced growing up, where neighbors took care of each other regardless of differences. He expressed his desire for a sense of normalcy in a country divided on various issues. Aldean concluded by addressing his political views and the need for a break from alarming headlines.
