À propos de cet audio
This has been a remarkable run for George Strait lately, and the headlines just keep rolling in. According to Newsweek and Rolling Stone, a cultural firestorm erupted as over 100,000 fans signed a Change.org petition by November 3rd to have George Strait replace Bad Bunny at the upcoming Super Bowl LX halftime show. The petition snowballed from 50,000 to 100,000 in a few short weeks, transforming from a quirky online plea into a hot topic about music, tradition, and identity on America’s biggest stage. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell publicly defended Bad Bunny’s selection, reaffirming the league’s commitment to diversity and showing no sign of shifting course. Mainstream and conservative media lit up the debate, with supporters of Strait lauding him as a symbol of American values and unity. While the NFL says the choice is locked, the petition’s momentum underscores just how passionate Strait’s fan base remains.
Meanwhile, George Strait’s professional life is positively soaring. In a career first, Parade and AOL reported this week that Strait has been named as a 2025 Kennedy Center Honoree, a crowning achievement rarely given to country artists. As if that wasn’t enough, he’s also set for induction into the Texas Heritage Songwriters Hall of Fame in February 2026, a long-awaited nod to his decades of songwriting. Both milestones are generating an outpouring of congratulations across social media, with heavy reposting of classic Strait performances and personal tributes from fellow artists.
The excitement extends to his tour business. Clemson University announced Strait will kick off its Death Valley Nights concert series on May 2, 2026, with multiple VIP packages for superfans. While Strait is famously private and doesn’t do meet-and-greets, these shows are already earning buzz as must-attend events, further cementing his legendary status among both young and old country devotees.
On the business front, PR Newswire unveiled a new holiday collaboration between Código 1530 Tequila (of which Strait is a co-founder) and Resistol hats, dubbed the "Cowboy Coffee Cocktail" kit. Launching just in time for the holidays, the package features Strait’s favored tequila and a limited-edition cowboy hat, marrying two icons of cowboy culture. Recent Instagram posts show Strait proudly modeling his signature Resistol and toasting with Código, delighting both hat collectors and spirits connoisseurs.
Rounding out the media moment, Parade highlighted a viral resurgence of a classic George Strait ‘90s song, thanks to a modern cover by a popular younger artist, sparking renewed interest in his back catalog on streaming platforms. Meanwhile, unsubstantiated rumors about Strait’s health made the rounds on lesser sites, but reliable sources like NY Weekly Info made clear this was pure fabrication, reassuring fans he remains active and healthy.
In sum, George Strait’s profile has rarely been higher: in public debate, on stage, in business, and throughout digital culture, the King of Country continues to command headlines and hearts well into his eighth decade.
