Jason Aldean performed at the 2024 CMT Music Awards-and viewers at home had some thoughts.
The 47-year-old country crooner took the stage at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas, on Sun.. April 7, where he played the audience his 2023 song “Let Your Boys Be Country.”
Aldean stepped up to his microphone with authority, his cream-colored wide-brimmed hat shadowing his face as he sang while strumming his guitar. His live audience was instantly supportive, waving their hands in the air in time to the beat as Aldean belted out the lyrics.
But fans online didn’t appear to be quite as impressed. While some diehard Aldean fans were quick to praise the “Big Green Tractor” singer on X, others had several points of criticism they wanted to take up with the performance, many of which stemmed from the controversy that surrounded Aldean’s 2023 song “Try that in a Small Town.” The CMTs ultimately pulled the song’s music video, a point that some viewers suggested made Aldean’s April 7 appearance on the CMT stage “ironic.”
“It’s very ironic Jason Aldean is performing at the CMT Music Awards,” one fan wrote on X.
“Very shocked Jason Aldean preformed at the CMT Awards,” another agreed.
“I didn’t like #jasonaldean before and now that he appears on #CMTAwards I like him less,” one X user said. “Dude, they banned you and called you racist.”
“Ironic @Jason_Aldean performs despite the @CMT network banned a controversial video of his!” another fan said.
Some viewers made jokes out of their opposition to Aldean’s performance.
“Watching a movie for 3 minutes while @jasonaldean performs at the @CMT awards,” one fan wrote as another joked, “Televised Jason Aldean performances are why God made mute buttons.”
The performance came months after one of Aldean’s music videos was pulled from airing on the CMT TV network as a result of public backlash over its controversial messaging.
The video for the track “Try That in A Small Town” was removed from the network’s rotation in July 2023, following criticism over what many perceived to be racist undertones in both the song’s lyrics and in scenes from the music video. A CMT spokesperson confirmed to USA TODAY at the time that the video was no longer being aired.
