Sheryl Crow took to Twitter to call out Jason Aldean's controversial lyrics in the chorus of his song "Try That in a Small Town." The lyrics have been widely accused of being pro-gun and pro-lynching, although Aldean has ardently denied those claims, calling them "meritless" and "dangerous."
In a Tuesday tweet directed at Aldean's account, Crow wrote: "I'm from a small town. Even people in small towns are sick of violence. There's nothing small-town or American about promoting violence. You should know that better than anyone having survived a mass shooting. This is not American or small town-like. It's just lame." Crow was specifically referencing Aldean's 2017 Route 91 Harvest Music Festival performance when a gunman opened fire, killing 60 people and injuring hundreds.
