Jason Aldean Has a “Big Torch to Carry” Now That He’s Entertainer of the Year
Winning Entertainer of the Year is like the Holy Grail of country music. It’s the award every artist wants more than anything. That explains why JASON ALDEAN was on cloud nine after his win on Sunday.
Quote, “I always said I just want it once. If I get it once, I’m happy. You don’t even have to nominate me again. I’m good. I can tell you there’s never been anybody that’s won this award that’s more thankful of it than I am.”
As far as HOW you win it. Well, one thing you have to do is tour until your fingers fall off. That’s something Jason made sure he took care of
Quote, “I take a lot of pride in going out and performing for people and making my live show what it’s been. This was really important to me. I never tried to downplay it. There’s nothing else I’d rather be doing.”
Jason also knows there’s a certain amount of responsibility that goes with winning the award. He adds, quote, “I got a big torch to carry.”

Jake answered, quote, “Oh yeah, I had dinner with Kanye West. Long story.” That was the end of the chat, but he did promise that the full story will come later. You are now free to wonder about a dream collaboration. Or, hideous one.
