Jason Aldean's Wife Gets Honest About Silent Conservatives In Country Music
Jason Aldean's wife Brittany says country music is loaded with conservatives who remain silent.
Brittany and her country music star husband are very open and vocal supporters of Donald Trump. They attended the RNC to show support for the Republican nominee and former President, and neither has ever been afraid to share their opinions.
Unfortunately, many people in America don't feel comfortable out of fear of being canceled or pressured to stay silent.
Brittany says it's no different in country music.

Brittany Aldean says country music is loaded with silent conservatives.
"No one really speaks. Even though they feel it behind the scenes, no one says anything…on the conservative side, in the country music world in particular…Country music, the conservatives, which is a majority of people, don’t say anything," Brittany said on the "Try That In A Small Town" podcast, according to Whiskey Riff.
She further continued, "It’s so funny when we go to an event or an awards show or whatever, when we’re invited, it’s funny the people that come up to you and they’re patting you on your back like, ‘Man, we love what y’all are doing, keep it up, wish we could.’ It’s like, ‘You can, but you don’t.'"
It shouldn't be a surprise at all that many country singers are pretty conservative in their private lives. The entire genre appeals to the people more on the conservative side of the spectrum. It only makes sense that many of the performers would feel the same way, especially considering how many come from conservative parts of the country.
Brittany Aldean calls out singer Maren Morris.
Brittany also called out country singer Maren Morris for their feud that stemmed from the latter calling Brittany a "insurrectionist Barbie" and told Jason's wife to "not be a scumbag human."
The issue? Brittany Aldean previously voiced support for not allowing kids to undergo surgery on their genitals and thanked her parents for letting her grow out of her tomboy phase instead of indulging it. That's not a crazy stance at all, and one many Americans support.
"She’s got a group of friends here in Nashville that they just, have it out for me for whatever reason. To be so pro-woman and all the bullsh*t – you’re not, because I’ve never said a word to you and you come for me why? Because I’m an easy target because I’m a wife, and I don’t have a stage as a platform, but I have social media. For some reason I offend them," Brittany explained.
She also didn't back down at all from her stance that children should be subjected to life-altering gender surgery.
"I just said that. Thank the Lord my parents allowed me to go through my tomboy phase without changing my gender, because it’s so common these days.And y’all, it was World War III at that point…She started to make fun of my business, which at the time was hair extensions. But to me it’s like, once again, going back to the feminist movement, aren’t you supposed to be all peace, love and all inclusivity and all the things? Why are you coming for me like that about my business? I don’t need to work. I choose to work. Let’s do that too. I am a working woman who doesn’t have to, who wants to provide for my children and my family, and that should be something to be proud of, not put down," Brittany explained, according to the same Whiskey Riff report.
It's very clear Brittany Aldean has a lot of opinions, and she's certainly not afraid to share them. That's something that should be applauded. Never apologize for wanting to keep kids safe or for being conservative. Brittany Aldean definitely won't. Let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
