Country star Jason Aldean and his wife, Brittany Kerr Aldean, have a house divided. She roots for the Crimson Tide — as befits anyone who’s attended the University of Alabama — while he’s a steadfast fan of the Georgia Bulldogs.
But that didn’t stop the couple from paying a visit to Bryant-Denny Stadium on Sunday with their two young children, Memphis and Navy Rome. From what we can tell, the Aldeans had the place (with a capacity of more than 100,000 people) all to themselves.
The singer, 46, was playing a concert that night at the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater, and this evidently provided an impetus for the visit to Bryant-Denny. It’s not unusual for celebrities to visit the stadium when they come to town, or receive VIP treatment with private tours that include the “Walk of Champions” tunnel linking the players’ locker room to the field.
Brittany Aldean, 35, posted photos and videos on Instagram to commemorate the occasion, saying, “Brought my Georgia boy to my alma mater🐘❤️ Thank you for letting us tour the stadium today, brought back so many memories🥹 @univofalabama @alabamafbl ROLL TIDE!”
One video in her post shows the couple holding hands as they walk on the field at Bryant-Denny, accompanied by a brief music clip from Morgan Wallen’s “Tennessee Fan.” (It’s a point in the song where the lyrics say, “Yeah, she was raised Roll Tide ‘til the day she died.”) Another shows Brittany spreading her arms wide at the stadium, giving a little hop and saying, “I’m so happy!”
Despite his longstanding support for one of the Tide’s rivals — and his own Instagram posts touting Georgia’s primacy as national champs — Aldean seems to happily indulge his wife’s fondness for Alabama football, smiling in the Sunday photos and hugging Brittany on the field.
