Kid Rock has been an outspoken supporter of former president Donald Trump for several years now. And the feeling is mutual. The “Cowboy” singer even kicked off his 2022 “Bad Reputation” tour with a video message from the 2024 Republican nominee. Tonight (Thursday, July 18,) the GRAMMY nominee once again threw his full weight behind Trump, taking the stage for the final night of the Republican National Convention.

“Are You Scared?”
Kid Rock took the stage ahead of Trump at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Trump is set to address the crowd for the first time since violence broke out Saturday (July 13) at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The artist (born Robert James “Bob” Ritchie) is performing a special Trump-themed song for a crowd of more than 50,000. Here’s a sample of his rehearsal at the RNC.
After his plane touched down in Milwaukee Thursday (July 18,) the rap-rocker shared a video to social media. “We just arrived in Milwaukee to support our tried and true, red, white and blue, 100% American bada– president,” Rock said. “What’s gonna happen tonight? Tune in to find out, but here’s a hint: Are you scared?”
He concluded, “God bless Donald Trump, and God Bless America.”
Across social media, fans expressed their support for both Kid Rock and the former president. “I hope that you’re going to sing American bada– or we the people lol that would be awesome,” wrote one Instagram user.
Another X/Twitter user added, “YES!!! Got goosebumps seeing this!!”
