Jason Aldean 'Try That In A Small Town' Reedited Music Video
According to a The Washington Post report, Jason Aldean's team has already re-edited the music video following the backlash it amassed on social media and from television personalities.
The talked-about clip from Fox 5 Atlanta showing the Black Lives Matter Movement protests in 2020 was reportedly omitted too. The new music video is now six seconds shorter than the original material initially released.
Jason Aldean Addresses 'Try That In A Small Town' Controversy
In a now-viral tweet, Jason Aldean denied the allegations that the song was pro-gun, pro-lynching and racist.
"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. These references are not only meritless, but dangerous," Aldean said in a tweet. My political views have never been something I've hidden from, and I know that a lot of us in this Country don't agree on how we get back to a sense of normalcy where we go at least a day without a headline that keeps us up at night. But the desire for it to- that's what this song is about."

'The View' Hosts Slams Jason Aldean Music Video
In an episode of The View, Whoopi Goldberg shared her two cents about Aldean's music video.
"He talks about life in a small town, and it's different, and he chose these images," the EGOT winner said. "He's got folks from the Black Lives Matter movement, and he's talking about people taking care of each other, and I find it so interesting that it never occurred to Jason or the writers that that's what these folks were doing: They were taking care of the people in their town because they didn't like what they saw."
For those who do not know, Aldean infamously used footage from the Black Lives Matter movement protests and interposed it with his performance in front of the Maury County Courthouse, in Colombia, Tennessee, a site where a Black man was lynched in the 1920s.
