It all started when Aldean shared what many perceived to be a transphobic post on Instagram, thanking her parents for never changing her gender during a tomboy phase as a child. While her husband, Jason Aldean, seemed to agree with her questionable remarks, other country music stars, including Morris and Cassadee Pope, called her out for her anti-LGBTQ+ stance. Still, she only continues to double down, claiming her comments were taken out of context. Jason was even dropped from his PR firm as an assumed result, but the issues continued to snowball. While Aldean launched conservative merch lines criticizing the parents of trans kids, Morris created t-shirts using the phrase “lunatic country music person,” a phrase that Aldean and Tucker Carlson called her during an interview segment. Morris donated over $150K from the sale to organizations supporting trans youth. “The Middle” singer also revealed she may skip the annual Country Music Awards, as of now, in an effort to keep her distance from the pair. Aldean has been relatively quiet since the initial drama, but Morris uploaded a video to TikTok on Thursday, Sept. 29 that many have assumed to be another callout. “Why I oughta…” Morris captioned the video, which is the response that Lindsay Lohan’s Hallie gave to Lohan’s Annie after the latter said, “Yes, you want to know the difference between us? I have class, and you don’t,” which Morris lipsynced to in the post, standing in a room that resembled the campsite’s cafeteria in the classic film. Now, there’s nothing about the video that indicates that it’s directed at Aldean—there are no hashtags or users tagged, but commenters clearly assumed it to be a dig. “Lmaooo! Shots fired,” one said. “I love a passive aggressive queen!!!” cheered another. “Love you!!! Thanks for your love and support of the LGBTQ+ community!” many others offered. Just yesterday, Morris opened up about why she’s so passionate—and so public—about the issue in an interview with GLAAD, explaining how even though she grew up in the south, it was “always a conversation” in the house, that everyone is the same. “You definitely have to let people know where you stand on really important subjects because those people come to your show, and I want it to feel safe,” she said, going on to explain how “heated” she gets when she sees incorrect information being spread. “I think you have to have tough conversations so people understand what’s actually going on, and you could actually save someone’s life by having the right information.” More Pop Culture:
