Country singer Maren Morris is making headlines once again, this time for seemingly taking a swipe at fellow artist Jason Aldean. In a teaser for her upcoming music video, Morris references Aldean’s hit song, “Try That in a Small Town,” causing speculation of a possible feud between the two.
Key Takeaway
Maren Morris has raised eyebrows with a cryptic teaser for her new music video, which appears to address Jason Aldean’s controversial song “Try That in a Small Town.” This teaser suggests a possible feud between the two country artists, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the release of Morris’ upcoming video.
A Sneak Peek at the Music Video
On Thursday night, Maren Morris treated her fans to a brief preview of her new music video. The clip showcases a glimpse of a miniature billboard that reads, “Welcome to Our Perfect SMALL TOWN From Sunrise to Sundown.” While it remains unclear whether these words are actual lyrics from the song, it is evident that Morris is taking a dig at Aldean.
Morris accompanied the post with the caption, “I’m done filling a cup with a hole in the bottom.” This enigmatic statement further solidifies the notion that she is throwing shade at Aldean.
Aldean’s Controversial Music Video
Back in July, Jason Aldean faced criticism for the imagery portrayed in his “Small Town” music video. The video depicted riots and Black Lives Matter rallies, leading to accusations that the song’s lyrics promoted vigilante violence. Despite Aldean’s insistence that he harbored no racial intent and that the song was not an attack on BLM, he was forced to remove BLM rally news coverage from the video after failing to obtain permission to use it.
Is Maren Targeting Just Jason Aldean?
While it is clear that Maren Morris is taking a swipe at Jason Aldean, it is worth noting that this might not be the only feud she finds herself involved in. Last year, Morris clashed with Aldean’s wife, Brittany, over controversial comments made about gender. Thus, it is possible that her upcoming music video serves as a not-so-subtle bite at both Aldeans.
