"Jason Aldean's Triumphant Return to CMT Music Awards After Controversial Ban"

Less than a year after CMT pulled his music video for "Try That in a Small Town," Jason Aldean performed at the CMT Music Awards with his song "Let Your Boys Be Country." The controversial track was criticized for promoting gun violence and taking aim at the Black Lives Matter movement, leading to its removal from CMT's rotation. Aldean denied the allegations, stating that the song does not reference race and the video footage was real news footage. The performance took place on an outdoor stage at the University of Texas at Austin, while the ceremony was broadcast live from the Moody Center in Austin.
