Have you seen on social media that Kid Rock and Jason Aldean are canceling their New York tour dates? The story, which is going viral on X, insists the musicians are doing it to support Donald Trump after a New York judge ordered the former president to pay $355 million last week. But it’s completely fake.“Kid Rock and Jason Aldean have responded to New York’s extreme attack on President Trump by REMOVING the state from their ‘You Can’t Cancel America Tour.’ This is a BIG DEAL and a sign of the silent majority rising…

According to the country music star Jason Aldean, you’d better not use your first amendment rights in small-town America, unless you want to be attacked by a vigilante mob. That’s the message of Aldean’s controversial song Try That in a Small Town, which includes the lyrics, “Stomp on the flag and light it up / Yeah, you think you’re tough / Well, try that in a small town / See how far you make it down the road / Around here, we take care of our own” and “Full of good ol’ boys / raised up right / If you’re looking for a…

Just when you thought there couldn’t possibly be anymore dog whistles embedded in the Jason Aldean “Try That in a Small Town” saga, an intrepid, sharp-eyed TikTok user has potentially picked out one more. Amazingly, this incident doesn’t involve the song itself, or even its controversial video — part of which was reportedly filmed outside a courthouse in Columbia, Tennessee, the site of a 1933 lynching (and features a surprising amount of footage from Canada). Rather, it involves a promotional video shared on…

Conservatives hoping to drive Jason Aldean’s controversial “Try That in a Small Town” to Number One on the charts following CMT’s move to pull the music video fell just short on Monday, as Jung Kook and Latto’s “Seven” reigned victorious.

According to data service Luminate, which powers the Billboard charts, “Try That in a Small Town” was garnering…

Jason Aldean is defending his new controversial song and music video that was pulled by CMT, calling claims made against the track “not only meritless, but dangerous.” After Aldean released “Try That in a Small Town” in May and its accompanying music video on Friday, it was criticized for promoting gun violence and taking aim at the Black Lives Matter movement. The track features the lyrics: “Cuss out a cop, spit in his face / Stomp on the flag and light it up / Yeah, ya think you’re tough /…

All week long, a culture war has been raging around country star Jason Aldean’s “Try That in a Small Town,” a turgid power ballad wrapped around an unsubtle warning to protesters and other outsiders: “Try that in a small town, see how far you make it down the road.” To many observers, that sounds uncomfortably close to the kind of threat that the Klan used to issue to civil rights activists, and that modern-day racists continue to spout today.
