Jason Aldean’s music video for his latest single “Try That In A Small Town” was removed by Country Music Television (CMT) after facing backlash for its setting and lyrics. The video featured Aldean performing in front of the Maury County Courthouse in Columbia, Tennessee, a location with a history of racial tension and violence. Critics online accused the video of having a “dog whistle” effect and promoting lynching. The video included footage of violent riots and flag burning, with news clips highlighting a state of emergency in Georgia. Aldean defended the video, stating that it does not reference race and that the news footage used is authentic. The production company, Tacklebox, clarified that the location choice was theirs, not Aldean’s. Aldean has been known for his conservative views and support for former President Donald Trump. This controversy adds to previous controversies surrounding Aldean, including his blackface Halloween costume in 2015 and his conflicting statements about gun laws following the 2017 Las Vegas shooting.
