Country music superstar Jason Aldean and his wife Brittany Aldean were among the thousands who gathered at Charlie Kirk’s Memorial Service on Sunday, September 21, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. The venue, with a seating capacity of 70,000, extended to additional standing areas and overflow viewing at the nearby Desert Diamond Arena, making it one of the largest gatherings of its kind in recent memory.

Jason and Brittany Aldean Pay Tribute to Charlie Kirk

Fans spotted the Aldeans taking photos and greeting attendees as they made their way to their seats. Following the service, Brittany Aldean shared a heartfelt reflection on social media, revealing that the experience left her “forever changed.”

“I expected to go in there and cry hysterically the whole time,” Brittany wrote. “But I left moved and inspired to live like Charlie.”

She explained that Kirk’s life and legacy carried a larger purpose:

“His legacy was so large, and he had a different purpose in life — it was just so good to hear people say that. There was just a different plan that was greater for him, that God knew. Everyone said at the service: [It’s] a revival. It’s putting so many people in touch with their faith and making a difference in so many lives.”

An Emotional Musical Tribute from the Aldeans

Two days after the memorial, Jason and Brittany shared a touching black-and-white video from their home. In the clip, they performed Luke Bryan’s emotional ballad “Drink A Beer” — dedicating the song to Charlie Kirk’s memory.

Jason sat on the counter strumming his guitar as he sang the opening verse. Brittany joined in on the chorus, and later delivered a moving bridge with the lyrics: “So long, my friend, until we meet again.”

The intimate performance quickly went viral, with fans praising the couple for their heartfelt tribute. Many were especially surprised by Brittany’s powerful vocals — though longtime followers may remember she once auditioned for Season 11 of American Idol, before meeting Jason.

Their performance resonated with viewers as both a personal expression of grief and a message of hope, aligning with Kirk’s enduring legacy of faith and courage.
