Fact Check: Satire article says Jason Aldean surpassed Taylor Swift tour attendance
Country singer Jason Aldean does not have a tour titled, “You Can’t Cancel America,” contrary to posts on social media, and narratives saying his tours have surpassed attendance rates of Taylor Swift’s Eras tour stem from a satirical article.
Aldean has upcoming U.S. tours set to begin in April and May, but they are called “Rock the Country, opens new tab” and “Highway Desperado, opens new tab.” The former is a seven-stop tour across small U.S. towns with Kid Rock, while the latter is homonymous with his latest album. The “Highway Desperado, opens new tab” tour took place in 2023 and was extended to new dates for 2024.
There is no record of a past tour called “You Can’t Cancel America,” although the tour name has circulated online since at least Aug. 5, 2023, in an article labeled as “satire.”
The website doesn’t share real news, however. It has a disclaimer that reads, opens new tab, “Welcome to Esspots.com, a website that specializes in satire, parody, and humor. Before you proceed to read our content, we would like to emphasize that nothing on this website is real.”
Concert industry publication Pollstar reported, opens new tab that Swift’s “Eras Tour” grossed over $1 billion and sold 4.3 million tickets.
Aldean’s team did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

False. Social media post
