Jason Aldean Presents Inaugural Charlie Kirk Legacy Award to Widow at Patriot Awards, New York

Country singer Jason Aldean and his wife Brittany will present the inaugural Charlie Kirk Legacy Award to Erika Kirk, widow of the late conservative activist and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, at the 2025 Fox Nation Patriot Awards on November 6. The award honors individuals who exemplify Kirk's lifelong values of faith, family, and free speech. Jason Aldean will perform live at the event with songs including his controversial hit "Try That in a Small Town" and his new ballad "How Far Does a Goodbye Go." The ceremony, hosted by Fox News' Sean Hannity and featuring other awards recognizing patriots and heroes, will be held at The Tilles Center for the Performing Arts in Brookville, New York, and streamed live on Fox Nation with a later Fox News Channel broadcast. Both Aldean and his wife have publicly shared their grief over Kirk's assassination earlier in 2025 and expressed admiration for his courage and message. The legacy award will be presented annually to honor those who carry forward Kirk's mission and spirit.
