Brittany received criticism from fans and fellow country artists when she posted on Instagram, thanking her parents for not changing her gender during her tomboy phase.

Jason came to his spouse's defense during the commotion, declaring his support on one of her Instagram posts, captioning it with the words, "MY Barbie." Ryan Hurd, in the meantime, stood up for his wife too. He tweeted, "It takes no courage to earn points by targeting transgender children. Maren's bravery in defending them makes me proud.

"It seems like the media is playing their usual game. They manipulate everything to suit their despicable agenda," she expressed in response to the song gaining widespread attention in June. "Instead of fabricating stories, why don't we direct our attention to issues that truly matter, like child trafficking? Just some food for thought."
