Tennessee

Jason Aldean is getting some backlash for his new controversial track, «Try That in a Small Town,» which some critics describe as tone-deaf and divisive.Just days after he ran off stage in Hartford, Connecticut, after what he said was the result of heat exhaustion, the 46-year-old country singer is sparking backlash over the pro-gun lyrics to his new track, as well as the images depicted in the song's music video. Some of his more incendiary lyrics include, «Got a gun that my granddad gave me / They say one day they're gonna round up / Well, that s**t might fly in the city, good luck / Try that in a small town / See how far ya make it down the road / You cross that line, it won't take long / For you to find out, I recommend you don't / Try that in a small town.» Aldean further stoked the flames with the music video, whose backdrop included an American flag displayed on the Maury County Courthouse in Columbia, Tennessee — the site of the 1927 lynching of Henry Choate. Some of the more inflammatory images used in the music video included interlacing clips of protestors vandalizing cities in the wake of police brutality and racial unrest during the height of the pandemic.

Jessica Simpson’s daughter flies with North West to see Katy Perry: ‘Supposed to see me first’

Jess a mom thing — no kidding. Jessica Simpson frequently has to tame her temper when it comes to her kids catching flights with the Kardashians to see the likes of Katy Perry perform — mostly because her brood has yet to ever see their “Irresistible”-crooning mom hit the stage. “They’ve never seen me do this,” said Simpson, 42, as the cover girl of Bustle’s July issue, referring to tots Maxwell, 11, Ace, 10, and Birdie Mae, 4, who she shares with husband Eric Johnson, 43.While wowing in eye-catching couture for the piece, the “Take My Breath Away” chanteuse candidly addressed her Ozempic-free weight loss, a sorely missed opportunity to work with Beyoncé’s songwriters due to her bout with alcoholism and regaining ownership of her eponymous “Jessica Simpson” fashion imprint for over $54 million in 2021. She also casually laughed off the recent wave of viral vitriol ex-hubby Nick Lachey, 49, has amassed on TikTok for criticizing her in resurfaced clips from MTV reality series “Newlyweds,” which chronicled their brief marriage in the early 2000s.But for Simpson, her daughter Maxwell’s enchantment with “Fireworks”-singing Perry is no laughing matter. “I have my daughter taking a private plane with North West to go see Katy Perry in Vegas,” she said.
