Brittany Aldean, a social media influencer who’s married to country singer Jason Aldean, has described Maren Morris’ feminism as “bullshit” in a new episode of the Try That In A Small Town podcast.
Aldean made the comments on Monday (22 July) on the podcast named after Jason Aldean’s controversial song of the same name. The revisiting of the feud with Morris comes two years after the My Church singer described Brittany Aldean as “Insurrection Barbie” after she made alleged transphobic comments on social media.
In 2022, Brittany Aldean shared a post on Instagram where she thanked her parents for letting her experience a “tomboy” phase without “changing [her] gender”. She then started sharing misinformation about “the genital mutilation of children.”
Responding to Aldean’s commentary, Morris wrote on social media: “It’s so easy to, like, not be a scumbag human? Sell your clip-ins and zip it, Insurrection Barbie.”
Revisiting the incident, Aldean said on the Try That In A Small Town podcast (per Billboard), “She’s got a group of friends here in Nashville that, they just have it out for me for whatever reason.
“Which, to be so pro-woman and all the bullshit … 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.”

Aldean continued, “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, inclusivity, and all the things? Why are you coming for me like that about my business?”
Maren Morris came out as bisexual during Pride Month last month. Morris has always been an outspoken ally for the queer community, even receiving GLAAD’s Excellence in Media Award last year for promoting acceptance of LGBTQIA+ people.
“I'm not brave... making the right decision shouldn't take bravery or courage. It shouldn't take [a] heroic effort to want basic human rights for everybody," Morris said in her acceptance speech.
"Leaving your house knowing that you can face violence, just for being who you are... that is bravery. This community stood up for me and made me feel safe when I felt alone, and I'll never be able to repay them, but I hope I get to spend the rest of my life and career settling up."
