His history-making and prolific career has included nearly two decades of chart-topping hits, including 'Dirt Road Anthem,' 'Don't You Wanna Stay,' 'Fly Over States,' 'She's Country,' 'Big Green Tractor,' 'Amarillo Sky' and more. The Grammy-nominated hit-maker earned the most Top 10 songs on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart-more than any other artist- since his debut in 2005, with 'songs of small-town living, love and loss that have resonated with a loyal fanbase' (Billboard). With the 2023 release of his 11th studio album, HIGHWAY DESPERADO, and his sold-out nationwide Highway Desperado Arena Tour, Aldean continued his 'country superstar status' (Variety). The album earned the Georgia native his first career Hot 100 chart-topping hit with 'Try That In A Small Town'- which earned Billboard Award nominations (2023) for 'Top Song Sales Artist' and 'Top Selling Song'- as well as the fan-favorite track 'Let Your Boys Be Country' and current single, 'Whiskey Drink.' Produced by longtime producer Michael Knox, Highway Desperado followed Aldean's double album, MACON, GEORGIA, which earned the singer/songwriter praise for honing 'in on his vision for this era of his career' and kicking off 'his career's next era' (The Tennessean). The project's featured the history-making, multi-week No. 1 Grammy-nominated 'powerful duet' (Rolling Stone) 'If I Didn't Love You' with Carrie Underwood, which won ACM Single of the Year, iHeartRadio Country Song of the Year, and CMT Collaborative Video of the Year as well as Billboard and GRAMMY nominations.

For more information, visit About Corey Kent: 'Poised to be country's latest red dirt star' (Rolling Stone), Corey Kent, a proud husband and father, has become a decorated artist on the rise, growing from humble heartland roots into a Triple-Platinum certified No. 1 hit maker with one billion career streams. Rising from the vibrant Red Dirt country scene as the embodiment of authenticity, Kent set his sights on Nashville as a teen, bringing his self-penned catalog of country-rock anthems with him. But after the pandemic coincided with the loss of his first publishing deal, Kent was forced to move to Texas and get a job on a paving crew to pay the bills, yet he stubbornly refused to call music quits, with honky-tonks and dancehalls on both sides of the Red River becoming his stomping ground. Fast forward a few years and the hit single 'Wild As Her' proved he was right all along. An untamed tribute to a free-spirited stunner, the track re-invigorated Kent's career as a now Triple-Platinum-certified No. 1 at country radio, and the lead single off his major label album debut, Blacktop. Despite never cracking country radio's Top 40, Kent's trust-your-gut second single 'Something's Gonna Kill Me' went Gold, proving his message was connecting. And momentum kept building, with Kent hitting the road alongside Jason Aldean, Ashley McBryde, Parker McCollum and more. Next-big-thing accolades came in from CMT, Opry Next Stage and more, but even as Kent became the most played new artist on country radio for all of 2023, he kept the underdog, who-cares-about-conventional-wisdom mentality. And so did his fans. For Kent, the point was that his fans have the same independent spirit he does, and he took that lesson into his next chapter. Settled into his ranch in Texas and intent on being fully present with his family while also achieving his dreams, Kent most recently released his sophomore major-label album, Black Bandana, to critical acclaim, with MusicRow Magazine describing the title track as 'gently but unrelentingly uplifting.' Often seen with a black bandana around his neck, Black Bandana holds great meaning for Kent – it's his rally cry. This album is about finding balance, keeping clear eyes on what's important – and waving that Black Bandana for all to see. For the latest news and information about Corey Kent, visit

Controversial Country Star Makes Bold Statement About 'A Wife's Job'
Controversial Country Star Makes Bold Statement About 'A Wife's Job' originally appeared on Parade. A country star who has found himself at the center of some controversies in recent years made a bold statement about what "a wife's job" is around the house. In a recent interview with Taste of Country, country star got to talking about what it's like at home when he's not on tour. While it sounds like he definitely pitches in around the house, it also sounds like his "wife's job" is to keep him busy with a honey-do list. "[Brittany] gets on Amazon and orders all this stuff, and it comes to the house and I'm like, 'What is this?' and she goes, 'Oh, we're gonna redo Navy's room,' and I'm like, 'Oh, "we are"? OK, cool,'' said added, "That's kind of a wife's job. If they just see you chilling, doing nothing, watching baseball or whatever, they're like, 'Hey, you should help me do this!' 'OK, here we go,'" the country star said wryly, adding that he's "gotta get back to work" so he can get a break from all that. "I've been off the road for about six months, and I am itching to get back after it," said Aldean. The Taste of Country host followed up by joking, "When's the last time Jason Aldean did a load of laundry?", and Aldean said that he helps with that kind of thing all the time. "Probably yesterday! Yeah, you know, we kind of tag-team that up. If she does it, she'll bring it in, I'll fold it or whatever. I pitch in around the house and help out," said the married Brittany Kerr in 2015. They met in 2012 when photos of them surfaced canoodling at a bar, and he was forced to issue an apology for "acting inappropriately" because at the time, he was married to his first wife, Jessica Ann Ussery. Ussery and Aldean separated a few months later, and Kerr and Aldean made their first public appearance as a couple in 2014 before marrying a year later. Aldean has two daughters from his first marriage, Keeley, 22, and Kendyl, 17, and a son, Memphis, 7, and a daughter, Navy, 6, from his second marriage. The singer has never been a stranger to controversy, from his second wife posting a video with transphobic comments that caused his public relations firm The GreenRoom to part ways with him after 17 years, to his "Try That in a Small Town" song, the video for which was pulled from CMT because of backlash over its lyrics about guns, violence and what some deemed coded references to lynching. Aldean was famously performing on stage during the 2017 mass shooting at his Las Vegas concert that killed 60 people. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Controversial Country Star Makes Bold Statement About 'A Wife's Job' first appeared on Parade on Jun 10, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 10, 2025, where it first appeared.

Jason Aldean Recording New Song With Former Duet Partner
Jason Aldean Recording New Song With Former Duet Partner originally appeared on Parade. Country superstar Jason Aldean was on Taste of Country's show on Friday, May 30, where he talked about his latest album, which he has been working on for the past six to eight months. He said that there will be at least two duets on the album, and while he played coy as to the exact duet partners, one thing he said has us screaming about it potentially being a reunion with or . Aldean and Clarkson made a splash in 2010 with "Don't You Wanna Stay," which was certified 2x Platinum by the RIAA and hit No. 1 on the U.S. Country Chart and U.S. Hot Country Chart, plus it got to No. 31 on the Billboard Hot 100. Then a decade later, Aldean and Underwood released "If I Didn't Love You," which hit No. 1 on the U.S. Country Chart, No. 2 on the U.S. Hot Country Chart, No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified 1x Platinum by the naturally, when he says he's teaming up with a former duet partner for another song, we are very excited that it could be either American Idol winner. Aldean told Taste of Country that he's going to have at least two and possibly more duets on his new album and when pressed for who the duets are with, he wouldn't say, but when asked if it's someone he has done a duet with before, he confirmed that one of them is. "Uhhh, one is and the other is not. The other's not. Gotta save a little bit [of mystery]," teased Aldean. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Now, if it's not Clarkson or Underwood, it could be a lot of people because Aldean has sung with a lot of other artists over the years, including Eric Church, Luke Bryan, Tyler Farr, Miranda Lambert, Ludacris, Darius Rucker, Charles Kelley, Brantley Gilbert and Florida Georgia Line. So there are a lot of possibilities. But we're crossing our fingers for Clarkson because their duet was straight fire. As to the rest of the album, Aldean had this to say, "We've been in the studio a lot, man. Probably the last eight months or so, six or eight months, we've been in the studio a lot. Basically, pretty much done with the album, at least my part, still gotta mix and master and all those kind of things. It's gonna be a cool project. Lotta songs. Couple duets in there too, so it's gonna be pretty cool."He went on to say that a couple of the songs are duets but they haven't actually found the duet partner yet, saying, "[All the duets are] gonna make it [on the album], there's a couple songs that I know are gonna be duets and then there's a couple, one maybe two, that we still kind of haven't found our partner for that yet, but it's gonna go in that lane too, so."

Jason Aldean Reveals Gift From Tim McGraw That Meant 'More Than Anything'
Jason Aldean Reveals Gift From Tim McGraw That Meant 'More Than Anything' originally appeared on Parade. Country superstar Jason Aldean appeared on the Taste of Country podcast show Friday, May 30, and among other things, he talked about the fact that it's customary for a headliner on a tour to give their opening act a gift when the tour wraps. It's not something we knew about, and it's really cool. Aldean revealed some of the best gifts he has both given and received, including two incredible gifts from stars Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw. Aldean's tour with McGraw was actually one of his very first tours, way back in 2008 on McGraw's Live Your Voice tour, where Aldean and the duo Halfway to Hazard (comprised of David Tolliver and Chad Warrix) were McGraw's opening acts. At the time, McGraw said of Aldean in a press release announcing the tour, "I'm looking forward to having Jason and Chad and David out there this year. They are among the best live performers out there, and I think it's a great combination that the fans will enjoy."Now, Aldean revealed what McGraw gave him at the end of the tour and how at the time, it was the best gift. "McGraw gave me a nice watch and some cash, which was really cool at the time because I could use the cash more than anything back then," said Aldean with a laugh. It's probably very true for up-and-coming acts — material gifts are nice, but money is probably the most valuable thing at the time. Aldean later went on tour with Chesney in 2015 when Aldean's Burn It Down tour combined with Chesney's Big Revival tour. "Chesney gave me a Can-Am Spyder, like the tryke, and so I still have that thing, that one's pretty one was the coolest, that motorcycle that I still have," said Aldean, adding, "Kenny's awesome, man." When asked if someone ever gave him kind of a crummy gift at the end of a tour, or maybe no gift at all, Aldean played coy and said, "Probably, yeah. I don't know," but he deflected over to what he has given his opening acts over the years. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 "I'd say the best gift I ever gave somebody, when Luke [Combs] was out with me, it was kind of the year he blew up, probably 2012, I think it was, and I got him a bass boat at the end of the tour," said Aldean. "He had blown up, obviously, and it was such a fun tour. One of my best friends. We just had an amazing year out there. He had just bought some property, and I got him a bass boat. So that's my best gift I've ever given anybody." Aldean also revealed he got Kane Brown a four-wheeler, saying, "You get out there, get to know these guys, see what they're into, what they like, and then you figure it out."
