Jason Aldean isn't just a country boy.

The "Burnin' It Down" singer's list of dream collaborations is long and not limited to Grand Ole Opry headliners.

"I love Beyoncé," Aldean told me yesterday at the 2015 iHeartRadio Music Awards when I asked who he'd like to work with. "Justin Timberlake and Rihanna, too."

His new wife, Brittany Kerr, added, "Adele would be cool."

Looking down the red carpet, Aldean said, "I think you can pick anyone here. I think you respect people for what they do, what they bring to the table. I think that's what makes shows like this one really cool.

"We are all different," he said.

And speaking of different, we so didn't expect to hear that Aldean and Kerr's first wedding dance was to Lionel Richie's 1984 classic ballad, "Stuck On You."

"It's old school," Aldean said. "That's one of the songs that when we met I was playing around on my guitar, and it was one of the first songs I ever played on my guitar for her. It's one of my favorite Lionel Richie songs ever."

Aldean and Kerr tied the knot last weekend in Mexico. The iHeartRadio Awards marked their first red carpet as a married couple.

"We had the wedding outside by the beach, and we were really worried about the weather," Aldean said. "But the weather was great. It was just a perfect day. We didn't see each other all day, so, for me, the best part of the day was seeing her for the first time that day. We couldn't have drawn it up any better."
