Jason Aldean gave fans a night to remember at the 2025 FOX Nation Patriot Awards in New York City, where he performed his new single and announced his upcoming album release. The country star, 48, took the stage to sing How Far Does a Goodbye Go – a song that dropped on September 12. Talking about the song, Aldean told fans on social media, “How Far Does A Goodbye Go is a song for anybody who has ever felt the sting of a breakup. Go check it out wherever you listen to music!”
His performance at the 2025 Patriot Awards marked a softer, more personal side of the singer, who is best known for gritty and patriotic anthems.

Jason Aldean pays tribute to Charlie Kirk
In one of the night’s most emotional moments, Aldean presented the inaugural Charlie Kirk Legacy Award to Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, alongside his wife, Brittany and FOX News host Jesse Watters. The Turning Point USA founder was shot dead on September 10 while speaking at Utah Valley University.
Before launching into his hit Try That in a Small Town, Aldean took a moment to speak directly about his late friend. “Charlie was one of a kind and will forever be missed,” he said. “Violence and division in our country has become way too common. I don’t know that Charlie was a big country music fan… He was more of a hip-hop guy from what I hear. But I know he understood where we were coming from with this next song,” he added, as per Fox News.
After Kirk’s death, Aldean had posted an emotional tribute on Instagram. “It’s been a hard day not only in our family, but all over the country,” he wrote. “Charlie Kirk was one of the kindest, smartest and bravest people I’ve ever met… We might have lost Charlie today but what he has done will live on forever,” he added.
