Jason and Brittany Aldean Honor Charlie Kirk with Emotional Duet

Country star Jason Aldean and his wife Brittany Aldean shared an emotional moment that touched the hearts of fans across the country this week. The couple performed a tender duet of Luke Bryan’s “Drink a Beer” in honor of their late friend, conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

The black-and-white video, posted on their joint Instagram account, shows Jason seated casually on a counter, guitar in hand, while Brittany stands beside him, singing softly. Their voices blend beautifully — gentle, reflective, and full of emotion. The caption reads simply, “For Charlie ❤️.”

The clip begins with a moving image of the couple embracing during Kirk’s memorial service at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, where nearly 100,000 people gathered to celebrate his life and legacy.

A Day of Faith and Reflection

Brittany later opened up on Instagram about how deeply the service moved her.

“It was overwhelming,” she shared. “I expected to cry the whole time, but it was so faith-filled and uplifting. Everyone was worshiping together. There was just something different in the room.”

She spoke about how the service reminded her of Kirk’s extraordinary influence.

“I knew Charlie had impacted a lot of people, but this felt different. Everyone kept saying his death sparked a revival — that it’s bringing people closer to their faith. It was inspiring.”

The event featured heartfelt tributes from notable figures, including President Donald Trump, Erika Kirk, Vice President JD Vance, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Secretary of State Marco, among others.

“He had a different purpose in life,” Brittany continued. “Hearing everyone talk about that made me realize God had a greater plan for him. I left feeling more positive, even though my heart was heavy. They keep saying, ‘Live like Charlie,’ and I’m really going to try to do that daily.”

Jason’s Onstage Tribute

The following night in Detroit, Michigan, Jason Aldean paused his concert to speak about Kirk’s impact on his life.

“Charlie was one of the best people I’ve ever met,” he told the crowd. “He wanted nothing more than what was best for all of us — and for our kids’ future.”

He then dedicated his song “Try That in a Small Town” to his late friend. The track, which has become one of Aldean’s most talked-about releases, holds a message about community strength and unity — themes that resonated deeply with Kirk’s beliefs.

Jason reflected on their friendship and Kirk’s unwavering conviction.

“When we released that song, Charlie was one of the first people to say, ‘That’s what it’s about — this country coming together and standing up for what’s right.’”

“His legacy will live on forever through what he built and the lives he touched,” Jason added.
