Maren Morris stands by her 'Insurrection Barbie' tweet about Jason Aldean's wife, Brittany Aldean

Maren Morris doesn't regret her viral social media post from two years ago referring to Brittany Aldean, Jason Aldean's wife, as 'Insurrection Barbie.'

"You’d think celebs with beauty brands would see the positives in including LGBTQ+ people in their messaging," Pope wrote about Aldean, who was selling hair extensions at the time. The "Insurrection Barbie" comment launched a blitz of critical coverage directed at Morris on right wing media, culminating in a Tucker Carlson Tonight appearance from Aldean herself. Carlson referred to Morris as a "fake country music singer" and a "lunatic," leading Morris to promote"Lunatic Country Music Person" T-shirts, with proceeds benefiting Trans Lifeline and GLAAD's Transgender Media Program.
