Jason Aldean 'Try That In A Small Town' Music Video Banned By CMT

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 falsely perceived as being in favor of gun violence and lynching.
