CMT pulls Jason Aldean video: What to know about 'Try That In A Small Town' controversy

Country Music Television is no longer airing Jason Aldean's music video "Try That In A Small Town," which sparked criticism after its release Friday.

The TV network pulled the video from rotation, a CMT spokesperson confirmed to USA TODAY in an email Wednesday.

The network stopped showing the music video after Aldean, who survived a mass shooting while he performed in 2017, faced backlash for the song, which many perceived as being in favor of gun violence and lynching.

Not long after the video's release, online critics highlighted the song lyrics as emblematic of songs heightening gun violence and lynching sentiments upon many in his rural, small-town fan base.
