\u201cFuck all the way off to Insurrection Barbie,\u201d Morris wrote on Instagram, a jab at the right-wing politics of Jason Aldean’s wife <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\tOn Wednesday, Brittany<\/span> Aldean \u2014 the wife of country star Jason Aldean \u2014 posted a video on Instagram of herself putting on makeup. That part was innocuous, but Ms. Aldean, an influencer with 2.2 million followers, accompanied the video with a caption that reeked of transphobic language. \u201cI’d really like to thank my parents for not changing my gender when I went through my tomboy phase,\u201d she wrote. \u201cI love this girly life.\u201d What’s more, she accompanied her video with Beyonc\u00e9’s 2006 song \u201cUpgrade U,\u201d seemingly unaware that Beyonc\u00e9 just paid very specific tribute to trans ballroom culture on her new album, Renaissance<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n

\tBoth Maren Morris and Cassadee Pope called out Aldean, n\u00e9e Kerr, for her comments. \u201cYou’d think celebs with beauty brands would see the positives in including LGBTQ+ people in their messaging,\u201d Pope tweeted<\/a> first on Friday. \u201cBut instead here we are, hearing someone compare their ‘tomboy phase’ to someone wanting to transition. Really nice.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tMorris, who has also been vocal in her support of the LGBTQ+ community, replied to Pope on Instagram with a missive-length comment asailing Aldean:<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cI’m glad she didn’t become a boy either because we really don’t need another asshole dude in the world. Sucks when Karens try to hide their homophobia\/transphobia behind their ‘protectiveness of the children.’ Weren’t they putting their kids in ‘Biden-is-a-pedo’ shirts on social media?\u201d Morris wrote, a reference to a clothing line promoted by the Aldeans that features shirts with sayings like \u201cHidin’ from Biden\u201d and pro-Trump imagery. \u201cFuck all the way off to Insurrection Barbie and the fellow IB’s trolling this comment section with their hypocritical, hateful asses.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tAldean answered to Pope on Instagram with a novel-length post that read, in part, \u201cA vocating for the genital mutilation of children under the disguise of love and calling it ‘gender affirming care’ is one of the worst evils\u201d \u2014 a talking point adopted by the right to politicize medical care for trans youth. Ultimately, conservative mouthpiece Candace Owens got involved, as did Owens ‘friend, the country singer RaeLynn, and the whole thing turned toward the exhausting.<\/p>\n

\n

\tThe takeaway? Country music, long known for its \u201cwe’re all friends\u201d fa\u00e7ade, is fracturing in a very public way.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
