Jason Aldean is thanking his fans for their unwavering support after the music video release of his song &#8220;Try That In A Small Town&#8221; sparked backlash.
The country music singer took to Twitter on Monday to share a video montage that included clips of some of his recent shows with the song playing in the background.
&#8220;Thank u guys. Ready to see u back out there this weekend!&#8221; Aldean wrote, adding an American flag and a rocker-hand emoji.
Included in the video was a clip of Aldean addressing his fans at one of his recent shows.
&#8220;So, somebody asked me, ‘Hey man, do you think you’re going to play this song tonight?'&#8221; Aldean is heard saying in one portion of the video. &#8220;The answer was simple. The people have spoken and you guys spoke very, very loudly this week.&#8221;

Another major accomplishment for Aldean came on Monday. &#8220;Try That In A Small Town&#8221; was second on Billboard&#8217;s Hot 100 list. This marks the country music singer&#8217;s first No. 2 spot on the chart, with &#8220;Dirt Road Anthem&#8221; getting the seventh spot in July 2011.
In the music video, Aldean touts how small towns wouldn&#8217;t put up with the kind of riots and lawlessness many cities across the country faced during the summer of 2020.
Last week, Aldean denied that &#8220;Try That In A Small Town&#8221; has racial undertones after critics voiced disdain for the new music video.
&#8220;In the past 24 hours I have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song (a song that has been out since May) and was subject to the comparison that I (direct quote) was not too pleased with the nationwide BLM protests,&#8221; Aldean shared with his nearly 8 million fans across social media.
