- Brittany Aldean shared an Instagram video that received backlash for being transphobic.
- Singers Maren Morris and Cassadee Pope criticized the post in separate tweets on Friday.
Jason Aldean's wife got into an online tussle with country singers Maren Morris and Cassadee Pope after making a transphobic comment on social media.
Brittany Aldean shared an Instagram post on Wednesday that showed off her makeup transformation.
"I'd really like to thank my parents for not changing my gender when I went through my tomboy phase. I love this girly life," she wrote in the caption. While conservative figures like Lara Trump supported her in the comment section, others took fault with Brittany's remark.
Pope responded to Brittany's Instagram post Saturday in a tweet.

"You'd think celebs with beauty brands would see the positives in including LGBTQ+ people in their messaging," Pope wrote. "But instead here we are, hearing someone compare their 'tomboy phase' to someone wanting to transition. Real nice."
Morris responded to Pope's tweet, adding: "It's so easy to, like, not be a scumbag human? Sell your clip-ins and zip it, Insurrection Barbie."
Conservative influencer Candace Owens then joined the conversation by responding to Morris.

"It's easier to not castrate your children But I guess whatever helps sell bad records," Owens wrote.
Morris then responded to Owens, writing: "Oh my god, not you. My Grammy is positively sobbing right now. Also, why do y'all always go to 'castration' and 'pedophiles' to try and shut an argument down? It's honestly concerning and worth looking into."
According to People, Brittany responded to Pope on her Instagram Stories on Saturday.
"Some parents want to be accepted by society so badly, that they're willing to make life-altering decisions for their children who aren't old enough to fully comprehend the consequences of those actions," Brittany wrote in one section. "Love is protecting your child until they are mature enough as an adult to make their own life decisions."
Representatives for Brittany, Morris, and Pope did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
The Aldean family made headlines in September 2021 after sharing Instagram photos of their family in outfits that criticized President Joe Biden. The photos garnered backlash, prompting Jason to double down on his family's stance in an Instagram post.
"I will never apologize for my beliefs or my love for my family and country," Jason wrote in October 2021. "This is the greatest country in the world and I want to keep it that way."
