“Charlie Kirk was one of the kindest, smartest and bravest people I’ve ever met. I’m honored to have met and spoken with him on a few occasions. He was a man of peace and wanted nothing but the best for our country and its youth.”

Aldean Dedicates Song in Detroit

On September 11, during his sold-out show in Detroit, Aldean stopped the performance to honor his late friend. He dedicated his hit song “Try That In A Small Town” to the co-founder of Turning Point USA.

Before starting the song, Aldean addressed the crowd with emotion:

“I couldn’t get through tonight without addressing something that happened yesterday, as you guys well know. An amazing person by the name of Charlie Kirk was murdered yesterday in Utah. This was a guy that I knew for a few years, had a chance to meet him on quite a few occasions, talk to him, one of the best people ever. I mean, this is not the guy you go after is what I’m trying to say.”

Fans erupted with applause and chants of support, turning the moment into a moving tribute. Videos from the night show the crowd cheering as Aldean’s words echoed across the venue.
