The country star spoke with Fox & Friends on Tuesday after performing at President Trump's inaugural ball the night before.
“I do feel a little vindicated," Aldean said. "My wife and I talk about this all the time, it’s like for the last four years especially, you take a lot of heat for stepping out and telling people how we feel about the state of the country and that regime that had been in office."
Aldean said it had been "odd at times," though added it was "cool" to see more celebrities speaking out in support of Trump.
"It just means that hopefully it’s getting everything back on track and we’re all getting on the same page," he said.
“I think for the last few years, as much as a lot of the media’s tried to make it seem like everything’s been so great, it hasn’t," Aldean continued. "I think a lot of us knew that for a long time, and I think a lot of other people are starting to see it now."
The country star said Trump's return to the White House "gives everybody a sense of relief."
"I feel like we’re headed in the right direction," Aldean said.
