Aldean's wife, Brittany, echoed her husband's sentiments, sharing the same photo and writing, "TRUMP 2024."
The Aldeans have been vocal Trump supporters for years, and their attendance at the RNC underscores their unwavering support. Brittany Aldean caused controversy in November 2023 with a song titled "Try That In A Small Town," which featured scenes of rioting and violence.
Despite backlash and the removal of the video from Country Music Television, the song topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart. South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem supported Aldean, and he is scheduled to perform in Colorado Springs on Friday.
Trump's family members, including former first lady Melania Trump, Ivanka Trump, and Jared Kushner, were also present at the RNC. The evening concluded with an address by the former president, who reiterated his conservative values and commitment to "Make America Great Again."
