There's a lot of action inside the Aldean house these days. Of course there's that first duet between Jason Aldean and Brittany Aldean, linking up on a song after years of fan fervor, but also, there's a piglet and a puppy that are best friends, and that might even get the louder applause online.

LISTEN NOW: 'Superstar Power Hour' with Jason Aldean

During this week's Superstar Power Hour with Katie Neal, Aldean opened up about both, the collaboration that's been a long time coming and the most adorable friendship of 2026. "We got the bulldog, he's rocking, he's fun, but the pig, it's so cold outside, and she's a little piglet that we haven't put her outside yet, so she's been living in the house in a pen, which is really driving me nuts right now," Aldean admits.

"It's got a pen outside. It's ready to go, but my wife's like, 'it's too cold. We can't put her out there right now. She's too little.' So I'm like, 'alright, well, we'll reevaluate here in about a month or so,' so yeah, I'm ready for the pig to go outside, but other than that, it's been good."

The piglet and puppy have already become somewhat of social media stars, sharing the same pen inside and spending tons of time together. "They're best friends. The pig and the puppy are best friends. It's the craziest thing I've ever seen."

"They'll sleep in the bed together and they'll play and I think the pig actually thinks she's a dog because we got the pig, and then we have 3 dogs. So I think she just thinks she's part of the dog squad."

Elsewhere in the Aldean home is another first-of-its-kind moment, as Jason and Brittany have joined forces on the new song, "Easier Gone."

"Whenever it comes to a duet or doing anything like that, I've always kind of said the song will dictate what we do with that," explains Jason. After being pitched a song by Lady A's Charles Kelley, Aldean took it to his wife. "I said, 'hey, I got something that I think you would sound really good on.'"

"She's never really been in the studio, so we took her in, and I think the first day was probably a little overwhelming," he adds. "She kind of had never done it, so she didn't really know what to expect. And so I think the first day was a little bit feeling it out, and then the second day, she went in and kind of knew what to expect, a little more confidence and, and crushed it."

"We've wanted to do something together for a while, but like I said, you gotta wait for the right thing to come along, and I felt like this was something that really fit her well. People probably thought if we ever did something, it would be this big sappy love song, but it's actually the opposite of that, which I love. I'm more of a heartache, heartbreak song kind of guy than I am a love song guy, but yeah, I love it. I love the way it turned out, and I think she sounds amazing on it, and I think a lot of our fans have wanted to hear that for a while, so it's cool to give it to them."
