This week's Billboard cover story features country star Jason Aldean, who opens up about dating American Idol contestant Brittany Kerr, admitting that he is fed up with the media attention it brought him, and not being a "country bro" like best pal Luke Bryan.
On dealing with the tabloids after relationship with American Idol contestant Brittany Kerr:
“It has been two years of this shit — get over it, already!” Aldean says. “And then when I finally do get enough of it and say something, every newspaper grabs it. And I’m not trying to get in the headlines — I’m just trying to get people to stop running their mouths.”
On not being a "country bro":
"One of my best friends in the world is Luke [Bryan]. He can flash those teeth like that," Aldean says, snapping his fingers, "and he walks around smiling all the time. I'm the complete opposite. We'll do a photo shoot and I'll look at all the ones of me smiling and I'll just move them to the side, like, 'Those are out.'"
"I hope people feel like what you see is what you get with me. I don't try to be something I'm not. It's too much work to try to be something else."
