Kid Rock kicked off his 2022 national tour with a video introduction from his pal and former President Donald Trump.
Before the “All Summer Long” singer took the stage at the Ford Center in Evansville, Indiana on Wednesday night, Rock played a video message from the 45th President.
“Hi everyone. Love you all. I know you’re having a great time at the Kid Rock concert tonight,” Trump told the cheering crowd in the short clip. “Honestly, he’s amazing. All of you who are in attendance are truly the backbone of our great country. Hardworking, godly, rock and roll patriots.”
“Bob really is one of the greatest entertainers of our time,” he said, referring to the rocker by his real name, Bob Ritchie. “Not the best golfer, his golf could use a little work, but a great, great entertainer and that’s why you’re here.”
“Let’s all continue to love one another, fight for our God-given freedoms, and most importantly, rock America again,” the ex-president concluded, donning a MAGA-style red hat that read, “Make America Rock Again.”

As soon as Trump finished his address, the stage lights came on and Rock broke into his inflammatory new song “We The People” — which features President Joe Biden and Dr. Anthony Fauci blasted over vaccination mandates and other policies – from his new album “Bad Ruf.”
The song includes a chorus that repeats “Let’s go Brandon,” the not-so-secret code for “Fk Joe Biden.”
Rock has been an outspoken supporter of Trump since 2016 and has led rallies for him.
