Trace Cyrus apologized, but you can’t help but wonder how much he meant it.

Billy Ray Cyrus’ son took to social media to walk back some comments he made in criticizing Jason Aldean and hit hit song, “Try That In A Small Town,” even if he still isn’t a fan.

“Yo guys, I still hate the (expletive) song, but I want to apologize to Jason Aldean,” Cyrus posted to his Instagram story. “I really am trying to become a better Christian, and a lot of his fans were DM’ing me and I felt bad. So, I’m sorry. God bless you. If you ever want to get in the studio and have me write a song for you, just hit me up.”

On Sunday, Trace Cyrus shredded the country music singer and his song.

“Guys, I was just sitting in my kitchen and this stupid song came on the radio,” Trace said in a video, per PennLive.

“Remember this went viral? And everyone knows, like I’m as patriotic as it gets. I love Trump and American and all that but listen to how stupid this is,” he continued, “Like, this is what’s on the radio, and the bad song that I been talking about all night, like no one is really listening to.”
