Jason Aldean’s recent revelation at a concert has sparked attention, revealing that he declined a request from the Biden Campaign to use his hit song “Fly Over States” for the president’s reelection campaign in 2020.
Aldean, known for hits like “Dirt Road Anthem” and “Try That In A Small Town,” openly expressed his refusal, drawing cheers from the crowd.
Aldean’s support for former President Donald Trump has been evident in recent years, and his rejection of the Biden Campaign’s request aligns with his political stance. However, his vocal support for Trump has also garnered criticism from the far-left, particularly following the release of his song “Try That In A Small Town” last summer.
The music video for “Try That In A Small Town” depicted images of violent riots in 2020, which targeted small businesses and landmarks. The song’s lyrics, including the line “Try that in a small town, see how far you make it down the road,” received backlash, with some labeling it as a “white supremacist anthem” and “pro-lynching” song.
Despite the controversy and pressure campaign to suppress the song, it managed to climb to the top of country charts last summer. Additionally, it reached the top 50 on Spotify and Apple Music in the U.S. and claimed the top spot on iTunes overall for several weeks.
Aldean’s refusal to allow his song to be used by the Biden Campaign reflects not only his political stance but also his commitment to maintaining artistic integrity and autonomy. Click below for more…
