Cassadee Pope knows where she stands in her feud with Brittany Aldean — and that’s with the “community I care about.”
The country singer, 33, addressed the August 2022 drama — in which she clapped back at Jason Aldean’s wife for her transphobic remarks — on the Monday, August 7, episode of the “Hold My Hair?” podcast.

With 21.9 million streams registered, 6.4 million airplay impressions audience and 153,000 singles sold, the track (which features rapper Latto as a guest artist) came out of the box as a certifiable monster. Country star Jason Aldean doesn’t have a similar Army bolstering him, but does sound like he might be forming a militia in “Try That in a Small Town.” The deeply polarizing song was able to ride a wave of headlines to a No. 2 entry, after it’d spent the last two months not even cracking the lower ranks of the chart, prior to the controversy erupting.

TikToker Danny Collins, a former minor league pitcher for the Atlanta Braves, took a closer look on Saturday at the newspaper article featured in the background of Aldean’s promotional clip for the song, which has sparked accusations it’s “pro-lynching” and “racist.”According to Collins, the text in the “Small Town” TikTok, which was posted May 19 (the same day the song came out), appears to have originated from a now-defunct newspaper from Petal, Mississippi, called the Petal Paper.Collins claims to have found an archived copy of the 1956 article online.
