BB.Aldean Power Couple Lights Up Patriot Awards: Jason & Brittany to Unveil Historic Charlie Kirk Legacy Honor
HONORING A LEGACY: JASON & BRITTANY ALDEAN TO PRESENT THE FIRST-EVER CHARLIE KIRK LEGACY AWARD AT THE 7TH ANNUAL PATRIOT AWARDS
This week in Nashville, patriotism and emotion will meet under one roof as Jason and Brittany Aldean take the stage at the 7th Annual Patriot Awards to honor a man whose voice and vision shaped a movement. In what promises to be one of the most moving moments of the evening, the Aldeans will present the first-ever Charlie Kirk Legacy Award — a powerful tribute to the late founder’s unwavering belief in God, country, and the next generation.
The award will be accepted by Erika Kirk, Charlie’s widow, whose quiet strength and faith have inspired millions since his passing. Known for her grace, dignity, and dedication to carrying forward her husband’s mission, Erika will be recognized not only as a symbol of resilience but as a reminder that true legacy lives on through love and purpose.
The Patriot Awards, hosted annually to celebrate the courage, character, and service of everyday Americans, has never seen a moment quite like this. Organizers describe the new Charlie Kirk Legacy Award as “a lasting honor for those who embody moral clarity, fearless leadership, and an unshakable faith in America’s founding values.”
The audience will also be treated to a special live performance by Jason Aldean, whose music has long reflected the heart and grit of small-town America. Taking the stage with his band, Aldean will perform several of his most iconic songs — including the chart-topping anthem “Try That In A Small Town.” The performance, described by producers as both “patriotic and deeply personal,” will set the tone for a night that celebrates unity, sacrifice, and conviction.
“Charlie believed in this country — not just in its promise, but in its people,” Aldean shared ahead of the event. “He spoke the truth, even when it wasn’t easy, and he never stopped fighting for what he believed in. It’s an honor to help keep that spirit alive.”
Brittany Aldean echoed his sentiment, calling Erika Kirk “a woman of faith and fire.” “What she’s doing now — keeping Charlie’s message alive with strength and grace — that’s what real legacy looks like,” she said.
The evening will include appearances from veterans, first responders, educators, and community leaders whose work reflects the same principles Charlie championed: faith, freedom, and responsibility. The Charlie Kirk Legacy Award is expected to become an annual honor, celebrating those who continue to serve with courage and conviction in their communities and beyond.
As the lights rise and the crowd stands, the moment is sure to transcend ceremony. In a city built on stories and songs, this one feels different — heavier, holier. Because this isn’t just about remembrance. It’s about renewal.
Through every note sung and every word spoken, the 7th Annual Patriot Awards will remind America of something Charlie Kirk always believed: that legacies aren’t measured in years, but in the hearts they move — and the truth they leave behind.
