As Jason Aldean‘s “Try That in a Small Town” continues to rise on the charts — and spark backlash — its controversial music video was subtly altered.The Washington Post reported on Tuesday, July 25, that the music video is now six seconds shorter than when it was originally uploaded on July 14.
News footage from Fox 5 Atlanta depicting Black Lives Matter demonstrations and protests in 2020 has seemingly been removed from the initial video.The clips appeared twice in the original version of the video.
At one point, the footage was projected outside of a courthouse in Tennessee — allegedly the site of a Black teen’s lynching in the 1920s. (The video’s production company, TackleBox, previously denied speculation about the building’s history and asserted that Aldean did not select the location himself.)Additional changes were made to the end of the video, per the Post.
The new version no longer includes an older man discussing small-town life or footage of a man in a baseball cap, both of which appeared in the final 30 seconds.Aldean, 46, defended his song and its content earlier this month after questions arose online about the lyrics. “Cuss out a cop, spit in his face / Stomp on the flag and light it up / Yeah, ya think you’re tough,” Aldean sings. “Well, try that in a small town / See how far ya make it down the road / Around here, we take care of our own.”The song was initially released in May, but controversy arose after the video’s debut.
