South Dakota’s Governor Kristi Noem has openly supported country music star Jason Aldean amidst a storm of controversy. The governor is applauding Aldean’s song, ‘Try That In a Small Town,’ citing it as a reflection of key American values currently under scrutiny. Amid a debate about cancel culture, she’s challenging Country Music Television’s decision to remove Aldean’s music video, arguing it curtails freedom of speech. In a heartening show of solidarity, Noem offers her very own Governor’s mansion as a potential venue for Aldean’s future concerts. Noem remains an ardent fan of Aldean’s, praising his firm commitment to law and order and the American way of life. Encouraging the artist to persist in his craft, she assures him and fans that South Dakota stands behind him.
