Jason Aldean Reveals Gift From Tim McGraw That Meant 'More Than Anything'
Jason Aldean Reveals Gift From Tim McGraw That Meant 'More Than Anything' originally appeared on Parade. Country superstar Jason Aldean appeared on the Taste of Country podcast show Friday, May 30, and among other things, he talked about the fact that it's customary for a headliner on a tour to give their opening act a gift when the tour wraps. It's not something we knew about, and it's really cool. Aldean revealed some of the best gifts he has both given and received, including two incredible gifts from stars Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw. Aldean's tour with McGraw was actually one of his very first tours, way back in 2008 on McGraw's Live Your Voice tour, where Aldean and the duo Halfway to Hazard (comprised of David Tolliver and Chad Warrix) were McGraw's opening acts. At the time, McGraw said of Aldean in a press release announcing the tour, "I'm looking forward to having Jason and Chad and David out there this year. They are among the best live performers out there, and I think it's a great combination that the fans will enjoy."Now, Aldean revealed what McGraw gave him at the end of the tour and how at the time, it was the best gift. "McGraw gave me a nice watch and some cash, which was really cool at the time because I could use the cash more than anything back then," said Aldean with a laugh. It's probably very true for up-and-coming acts — material gifts are nice, but money is probably the most valuable thing at the time. Aldean later went on tour with Chesney in 2015 when Aldean's Burn It Down tour combined with Chesney's Big Revival tour. "Chesney gave me a Can-Am Spyder, like the tryke, and so I still have that thing, that one's pretty one was the coolest, that motorcycle that I still have," said Aldean, adding, "Kenny's awesome, man." When asked if someone ever gave him kind of a crummy gift at the end of a tour, or maybe no gift at all, Aldean played coy and said, "Probably, yeah. I don't know," but he deflected over to what he has given his opening acts over the years. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 "I'd say the best gift I ever gave somebody, when Luke [Combs] was out with me, it was kind of the year he blew up, probably 2012, I think it was, and I got him a bass boat at the end of the tour," said Aldean. "He had blown up, obviously, and it was such a fun tour. One of my best friends. We just had an amazing year out there. He had just bought some property, and I got him a bass boat. So that's my best gift I've ever given anybody." Aldean also revealed he got Kane Brown a four-wheeler, saying, "You get out there, get to know these guys, see what they're into, what they like, and then you figure it out."
