Cody Johnson expresses solidarity with Jason Aldean at a St. Louis concert following the recent removal of Aldean's song and video from CMT rotation. During his Friday night performance, Johnson took a stand in support of fellow country artist Aldean amidst the controversy over the song, «Try That in a Small Town». Graham Allen, host of the Dear America podcast, captured and posted a video of Cody Johnson voicing his support for Aldean during the show at St. Louis' Chaifetz Arena. Johnson addressed the criticism Aldean received for releasing the song, saying, «If you're videoing this, and Jason Aldean if you're seeing this video, you keep it up, brother. You do you, boo boo.» Johnson went on to interpret the song as a patriotic one, asserting, «If being patriotic makes you an outlaw, then by God, I'll be an outlaw.» Several artists, including Travis Tritt, John Rich and Lee Greenwood, have defended Aldean, while others, such as Jason Isbell, Adeem the Artist, Margo Price and Sheryl Crow have criticized both the song and Aldean. The controversy began when Aldean released «Try That in a Small Town» in May and performed it during his set at CMA Fest in June. The song and its video drew swift criticism on social media, with commenters calling it racist and pro-gun. CMT subsequently removed the video from rotation, sparking mixed reactions.
