BLM-less \u2064version.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>As evidenced above, various parts of the music video that featured Black Lives Matter \u2063imagery was replaced with more stock\u200c footage of Aldean simply singing\u200b the song.<\/p>\n<p>As TMZ notes \u2064\u201cfootage of violence at a BLM rally, projected on a Tennessee courthouse where a Black teenager was\u200b lynched in 1927\u201d was removed.<\/p>\n<p>While the changes only \u2063amount to about six seconds of altered footage,\u2064 it\u2019s noticeable nonetheless given the microscope this song is under.<\/p>\n<p>The Speculation \u2064Surrounding the Change<\/p>\n<p>As to why \u200bor how\u200b this change was made, there\u2019s nothing\u2063 but speculation.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s possible that Aldean finally acquiesced a bit to his critics, who specifically had issues with\u200b the BLM\u200b imagery and the courthouse (due to its\u2064 historic significance.)<\/p>\n<p>Many critics specifically cited that imagery, while others decreed the whole\u2063 video as \u2063\u201cwhite nationalist\u201d propaganda:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">I hate tweeting the link \u2063but better
