Zack Sharf Maren Morris is a CMA Award nominee for album of the year thanks to her record “Humble Quest,” but she isn’t sure she’s attending the November ceremony after she publicly clashed with Brittany and Jason Aldean over transphobic comments they posted on Instagram. Jason Aldean picked up a CMA Award nominee for musical event of the year, meaning the two country artists could both find themselves in attendance at the ceremony. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Morris said she hasn’t yet decided if she’s going to go the CMA Awards. “I’m very honored that my record is nominated,” she said. “But I don’t know if I feel home there right now. So many people I love will be in that room, and maybe I’ll make a game-time decision and go. But as of right now, I don’t feel comfortable going.”

I love this girly life.” Country music star Jason Aldean responded to his wife’s post by writing in the comments, “Lmao!! Im glad they didn’t too, cause you and I wouldn’t have worked out.” The posts were widely viewed as transphobic and were called out as such by country singers such as Morris and Cassadee Pope. Morris referred to Brittany Aldean as “Insurrection Barbie,” adding, “It’s so easy to, like, not be a scumbag human?” “I think that children should not be allowed to make these life-changing decisions at such a young age,” Brittany Aldean later told Fox News host Tucker Carlson, doubling down on her transphobic comment. Carlson helped make the controversy go even
