Sheryl Crow is speaking out against Jason Aldean’s controversial new single, “Try That in a Small Town.” In a post on Twitter, 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 quoted a viral post from ‘Moms Demand Action’ founder Shannon Watts, which points out how ironic Aldean’s song is, since he was in a mass shooting.

The fan who was scolded by Miranda Lambert for taking a selfie with her friends at Lambert’s Las Vegas concert over the weekend has spoken out about the incident that went viral.  Adela Calin, the concertgoer, told NBC News: “It felt like I was back at school with the teacher scolding me for doing something wrong and telling me to sit down back in my place … I feel like she was determined to make us look like we were young, immature and vain. But we were just grown women in our 30s to 60s trying to take a picture.”

Jason Aldean released a music video for his hit radio single, “Try That In A Small Town.” Aldean shares of the song: “When u grow up in a small town, it’s that unspoken rule of ‘we all have each other’s backs and we look out for each other.’ It feels like somewhere along the way, that sense of community and respect has gotten lost. Deep down we are all ready to get back to that. I hope my new music video helps y’all know that u are not alone in feeling that way. Go check it out!”

Mickey Guyton has dropped her new single, “Nothing Compares to You,” featuring Kane Brown, written by pop star Bebe Rexha, country star Tyler Hubbard and hit songwriter Jordan Schmidt.

After two years, Dan + Shay are back with new music, releasing their new single, “Save Me The Trouble,” along with the video for the track. Smyers said via a statement: “I don’t think I’ve ever been prouder of a song that I am this one. We wanted to have something that was a real moment, and when we started writing this, it felt like it could be something big. I wanted every section to build, and even in the second chorus, when you’re like, ‘Okay, there’s no way it could possibly get any crazier,’ then Shay takes off even further.”  You can take a look at the video for “Save Me The Trouble,” – here.
