Jason Aldean Reveals Kenny Chesney's End-of-Tour Gift to Him

Jason Aldean recalls two very cool end-of-tour gifts. One was something he desperately needed, and the other was something he never knew he wanted.

Kenny Chesney provided the indulgence and — talking to Taste of Country Nights — Aldean admits he still has it.

Jason Aldean grew up in Macon, Ga. and as a fan of Chesney, having first seen him live in the '90s.
The two have shared a stage or tour on several occasions, including stadium dates on the Big Revival Tour in 2014.
New music, conspiracy theories and wife Brittany's honey-do list for him are all part of the full interview with Aldean at the Taste of Country Nights: On Demand podcast.

"Chesney gave me a Can-Am Spyder," Aldean reveals. "That one was the coolest."

If you're not familiar, the Spyder is a three-wheel that has more in common with a motorcycle than a car or truck. In 2025, they start at a little less than $23,000.

"(Tim) McGraw gave me a nice watch and some cash," the "Whiskey Drink" singer says, continuing, "which was really cool at the time, because I really could use the cash more than I could anything back then."

McGraw and Aldean toured together in 2008 on the Live Your Voice Tour.

"I'd say the best gift I ever gave somebody is when Luke (Bryan) was out with me, it was kind of the year he blew up," Aldean recalls, "And I got him a bass boat at the end of the tour."

This year, Nate Smith is Aldean's tour opener when he starts the Full Throttle Tour. There's no rush to buy a gift, however: The country veteran says he tries to make it personal, so he'll get to know Smith before making a purchase.

Jason Aldean exploded onto the country music scene in 2005 with his first hit "Hicktown," which shot to No. 10 on the country charts. Since then, the megastar has released 11 studio albums and has had 27 songs reach No. 1. Let's take a look back at a young Jason Aldean, when he was just getting started.
