Although Jason Aldean’s CMT Awards performance has inspired widespread conversation, he has yet to comment on his return to stage or the reaction of his fans and critics. His wife, Brittany Aldean, who’s no stranger to controversy either, has also failed to comment on his comeback performance as of this writing. Interestingly, Brittany skipped out on the entire ceremony, which took place in Texas. According to her Instagram stories, she opted to spend her Sunday away from the cameras, soaking up the sun at the Tortuga Music Festival, which is held annually at Ft. Lauderdale Beach.
However, Aldean has spoken at length about the reaction to his controversial song and music video. In July of 2023, Aldean ranted about cancel culture at one of his shows after CMT took down his video. “You guys know how it is, in this day and age, cancel culture is a thing,” said Aldean (via Deadline). “That’s something that if people don’t like what you say they try to make sure they can cancel you, which means try to ruin your life, ruin everything. One thing I saw this week was a bunch of country music fans that can see through a lot of the bullsh*t.” He continued, “I saw country music fans rally like I’ve never seen before and it was pretty bada**, I gotta say. Thank you guys so much.”
