In response to the massive wave of criticism against the music video for Jason Aldean’s May-released and now top-5 charting Billboard all-genre Hot 100 single “Try That in a Small Town,” The Washington Post has reported that the 12-day-old clip, with Black Lives Matter protest footage removed, is now six seconds shorter.
A news clip from Atlanta’s Fox 5 showing the city’s violent 2020 and 2021 Black Lives Matter protest confrontations is no longer visible in the video. Moreover, adds Aldean’s representatives, a spoken-word clip of a wheelchair-bound elderly man appealing to rural values and another man in a baseball cap and sunglasses staring into the sun are not present in the video’s re-uploaded version.
