Jason Aldean: Country is 'Overdue' for Female Entertainer of the Year

The reigning ACM Entertainer of the Year thinks it’s time for a woman to win the coveted trophy.

Jason Aldean told press backstage at the 53rd ACM Awards Sunday (April 15) in Las Vegas that many women in the genre are “worthy of being” nominated for Entertainer of the Year.

“Miranda, Carrie… I told Lauren Alaina tonight, ‘You sang you behind off tonight.’ She sounded amazing. You’ve got her and Kelsea—some new ones coming up—Maren, who I think is phenomenal, too. I definitely think there’s some that should be represented in there. Down the road if they happen to win one, I’ll be the first one up congratulating them because it’s probably a little overdue,” Jason said.

The “You Make It Easy” singer claimed his third-straight Entertainer nod in 2018, just a few short months after witnessing the first moments of the massacre at Route 91 Harvest festival from stage.

“I’ve said this a lot over the last few months, but for the one horrible night we had here, I’ve had a million great ones and tonight was a million and one,” Jason went on to say. “I’ve had some really big moments in my career happen here. I love this town. I love the city.”

Jason kicks off his High Noon Neon Tour May 10 in Kansas City.
