Country music star Jason Aldean isn’t shy about sharing his views, and during a recent concert, he had a message for his younger fans: if you’re frustrated with how things are going in the country, it’s time to step up and vote in the 2024 election.
Aldean, 47, took a break from the music to speak directly to those old enough to vote, acknowledging that when he was younger, voting wasn’t something he worried about—but times have changed.
He didn’t hold back either. "It’s a crazy a** time when the media makes me out to be the ahole for calling out people doing stupid st," he said, referring to the backlash he’s faced for speaking his mind. “This country is crazy. It’s gotten really weird over the last few years.”
Aldean then emphasized that the upcoming election in November is a pivotal moment for the future of the U.S. Without naming names, he urged young people to take their role in shaping the country seriously by heading to the polls.

“It’s not my place to tell you who to vote for,” he said, clarifying he wasn’t there to push a specific candidate. “But I will say, if you don’t get out and vote, you got no right to b***h about the outcome.” Aldean reminded the audience that voting is a simple act that could make all the difference. “It takes 30 minutes out of your day,” he added.
But anyone familiar with Aldean knows where his loyalties lie. The singer has made it clear he’s backing former President Donald Trump in the upcoming election. He wrapped up his monologue with a hopeful nod to the possibility of Trump reclaiming the White House.
“I know who I hope wins,” Aldean said, hinting that he’d be playing a song in celebration if that happens.
Aldean’s support for Trump isn’t new. In July, after an assassination attempt at Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Aldean performed in Nashville and dedicated his controversial hit "Try That In A Small Town" to Trump, calling the former president a friend and sending a powerful message of support. For Aldean, this election isn’t just political—it’s personal.
