Travis Tritt relayed a significant communication to Jason Aldean in the face of criticism for the song "Try That In A Small Town."
Aldean is under intense scrutiny following the launch of his music video for the popular track, which includes scenes from the 2020 riots that wreaked havoc on American cities.
After CMT withdrew the video from its playlist, a wave of public outrage surged on Twitter, compelling Aldean to confront the issue and clarify that the song did not advocate for lynching.
The fact that such clarification was necessary is bewildering, yet it is indicative of the times in 2023.
In the past 24 hours I have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song (a song that has been out since May) and was subject to the comparison that I (direct quote) was not too pleased with the nationwide BLM protests. These references are not only meritless, but dangerous.…

However, despite the backlash, the song is soaring up the charts. Tritt is reminding Aldean that the perceptions and reactions on social media don't always reflect reality.
“I would also like to remind my friend,@Jason_Aldean that Twitter and social media in general is not a real place. The views shared by many accounts on this platform are not actually representative of the vast majority of the population of this country. Say what you want to say and be who you want to be. Damn the social media torpedoes,” Tritt tweeted Wednesday night.

It might seem self-evident, but Travis Tritt is indisputably right. There's absolutely no doubt that this country music icon has hit the nail on the head.
Social media doesn't mirror real life. It simply doesn't. Perusing Twitter might lead you to believe that Jason Aldean has become the most vilified figure - and for what? His daring decision to extol America, champion small-town values, and shed light on violent riots?
If this is grounds for indignation, the 'woke' crowd on Twitter might be surprised to discover how many ordinary Americans share these sentiments.
