Country music star Jason Aldean is set to make a return to the 2024 CMT Music Awards, where he will be performing his song 'Let Your Boys Be Country.' This comes after his controversial music video for 'Try That in a Small Town' was pulled from CMT's rotation last year.
The 47-year-old singer faced allegations of racism due to the lyrics in his song, which some critics found offensive. Aldean defended the song on social media, stating that it did not contain any references to race and that it was meant to reflect the sense of community he experienced growing up.
Despite the backlash surrounding the song and its music video, Aldean expressed that he did not regret releasing it. He mentioned that he stood by his intentions behind the song and the video, although he acknowledged that he might have chosen a different location for filming in hindsight.
The controversy surrounding 'Try That in a Small Town' did not deter Aldean from continuing his music career. He is scheduled to perform at the upcoming CMT Music Awards, which will be broadcast on CBS on Sunday, April 7, at 8 p.m. ET. The event will also be available for live streaming and on-demand viewing via Paramount+.
