Maren Morris recently addressed her past feud with Brittany Aldean, revisiting the controversy that ignited in August 2022. At the time, Aldean posted a seemingly innocuous message about not changing her gender during a “tomboy” phase. The post, which received significant attention and was met with comments from her husband, Jason Aldean, appeared light-hearted but quickly sparked backlash on social media.
The situation escalated when singer Cassidy Pope criticized Aldean on Twitter, accusing her of insensitivity towards the LGBTQ+ community. Morris joined the fray, commenting, “It’s so easy to like: not be a scumbag human. Sell your clip-ins and zip it, Insurrection Barbie,” a remark that was both direct and controversial. Morris also made further comments denouncing what she saw as hidden homophobia and transphobia behind Aldean’s posts.
In a recent interview on the podcast “Try That in a Small Town,” Aldean expressed her frustration, suggesting that Morris and her Nashville-based friends had it out for her. Aldean lamented that despite not having a public platform, she felt targeted and criticized for her business ventures and social media presence.
Morris, who announced her departure from country music but continued her career, reflected on the impact of the feud. On the “Popcast” episode from October 4th, she mentioned the challenges of dealing with the “circus” of country music, explaining that she felt she needed to step back from the drama and focus on making meaningful music rather than engaging in controversies.
In a new interview with Cosmopolitan’s “Cheap Shot,” Morris was asked about any regrets regarding her tweets. She stated, “I don’t really have tweets that I’ve regretted. I will say I didn’t think my ‘Insurrection Barbie’ tweet to a certain someone would have picked up so much momentum, but I stand by it.”
As the conversation about the feud continues, Morris remains firm in her stance, and the debate around her comments and the broader issues they touch upon persists. For the latest updates and discussions on this ongoing story, stay tuned to Country Cast.
