🎶 Country Royalty Gets His Crown at the Kennedy Center

George Strait is officially a 2025 Kennedy Center Honoree—making him the first country artist to get the nod since Garth Brooks in 2020. That’s five whole years without a cowboy hat in the lineup!

President Trump made the announcement and kicked things off by spotlighting Strait first (as he should). He ran through George’s jaw-dropping stats: 120 million records sold, 60 number one hits, and 33 Platinum albums. That’s not just impressive—it’s legendary.

And when they showed George’s photo? The President joked, “He’s a good-looking guy! I hope he still looks like that.” 😂

The big night goes down this December, and we’re already picturing George in a tux, tipping his hat to the crowd. Long live the King! 🎶
