WATCH: Couple Gets Engaged On Stage During Kid Rock Performance At ‘Rock The Country’

You know what, hell yeah.

Rock the Country kicked off this past weekend with their first festival of the season in Bellville, Texas. And despite some challenges from the weather, it looked like a packed crowd and a helluva time.

The turnout celebrating 250 years of America was amazing at @rockthecountry 🤘🏻 🇺🇸 🦅! Even after all the stormy weather! First time seeing Kid Rock and it was one of the best shows we’ve seen, ever! #rockthecountry #america #usa250 #rachalfam

By all accounts, the crew did an amazing job getting the festival site back in shape and ready to go despite the torrential downpours, and the festival went forward with performances from Ella Langley, Jason Aldean, Brantley Gilbert, and a ton more.

And while it seems like everybody had a great time, there’s one couple who apparently had an extra special weekend.

Video from Saturday shows one couple on stage with Kid Rock when the guy gets down on one knee and pops the question in what was clearly a surprise for his now-future bride.

You love to see it.

Over the weekend, Kid Rock also debuted a patriotic intro video featuring himself and Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, riding around in military helicopters.

The country artist started trending after reports said that he was flying around the Washington D.C. area in an Apache helicopter. TMZ later confirmed that Kid Rock was flying around in the military helicopter, and that there were actually two choppers in the air.

According to their sources, Kid Rock sat in the gunner’s seat of the aircraft, and the ride was a part of the celebration of America’s 250th birthday. Cameras were apparently rolling not only for Kid Rock’s intro video, but also for Memorial Day and the July 4th event. Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, was reportedly in the other Apache helicopter and was sitting shotgun as well.

Pete Hegseth took to X later that day to confirm that he and Kid Rock went for rides with the U.S. Army:

“Joined my friend Kid Rock – and some of our U.S. Army Apache pilots – for a ride this morning. (More to come on that!) Kid Rock is a patriot and huge supporter of our troops. The War Department is wasting no time celebrating America’s 250th – home of the free because of the brave.”
