Country hitmaker Jason Aldean and his wife, Brittany, are getting political on Instagram after she shared photos of herself and their toddlers, Navy, 2, and Memphis, 3, wearing anti-Joe Biden t-shirts over the weekend.
Brittany shared a number of photos of her children and herself wearing clothing from an online store dubbed, “Daddy T-45,” a reference to Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States.
Navy and Memphis were seen sporting “HIDIN’ FROM BIDEN” tees, while Brittany wore a “ANTI BIDEN SOCIAL CLUB” shirt. The “If I Didn’t Love You” singer, however, was not wearing any of the anti-Biden merch in the photos.

“My boy,” Aldean commented on one of the images, showcasing Memphis with his thumbs up and a huge smile on his face.
Other comments chimed in as well.
“I loved y’all before and love you even more now lol,” wrote a fan.
Another declared, “Your children and mine deserve better than what Biden is doing to this country!”

While many comments, including ones from Dee Jay Silver, Summer Pardi, Kasi Wicks and RaeLynn, were positive, several others criticized the couple for using their children as “political props.”
“Using your kids like this is not something to be proud of. How about you try teaching them to find common ground & unity instead of division. The world doesn’t need more hate,” wrote one Instagram user.
Another user, who appeared to be in the music industry, shared, “At this moment considering taking all of Aldeans music out of rotation here at our radio station. I’ll be contacting other program directors I know and advising them to consider this as well. Not cool making your kids advertise your political affiliations.”
Aldean responded to one commenter, writing, “Watch ur mouth lady! We will teach our kids what we think is right and what we think is best for their future. If you think what is happening right now is ‘great’ for the future of our kids and grandkids, u are delusional!” and later added, “Definitely better than what we got now! Please tell me one thing that the current administration has done that is positive? Just 1!!!”

Aldean, who is currently in the midst of his Back in the Saddle Tour, is also selling a political shirt via his official merch line. The shirt, which can be found on his website, or merch table on tour, reads: “Jason Aldean ’24 – Get the BS out of the US.”
This isn’t the first time Brittany has voiced her political opinions.
Earlier this month, she was seen wearing an “Impeach 46” t-shirt via Instagram stories.
In January, Brittany caught some backlash over her posts about the Capitol riots when she shared a meme suggesting that two of the rioters were from antifa.
Brittany has been vocal about her opinions and says she does not care if people agree with her views.
“I personally don’t give a damn if people don’t agree with me. I think it’s important now more than ever to stand for what you believe, even if it ‘goes against the grain.’ Do your research, and form your own opinion – speak out if you wish. But most importantly, don’t bully people who feel differently than you,” she previously shared.
