George Strait BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

George Strait, the King of Country, made waves over the past few days with buzz around his rare hatless moment at the White House. According to AOL and Parade, the 73-year-old legend ditched his signature cowboy hat during the 48th Kennedy Center Honors ceremony in Washington, D.C., where President Donald Trump presented him with a gold Tiffany and Co. medallion alongside stars like Sylvester Stallone, Gloria Gaynor, and KISS. Trump quipped, Oh hes got good hair, surprising even Strait who chuckled back, A little bit, I still got a little bit. This Oval Office exchange, originally reported by Parade on December 8, 2025, resurfaced in fresh coverage, highlighting Straits dapper tuxedo look and his place among past honorees like Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson. The honors broadcast airs Tuesday on CBS and Paramount+.

Taste of Country and 97.3 The Eagle reported on January 1 that Strait spilled his quirky hangover cure in a resurfaced Daily Beast interview: menudo, the spicy tripe soup with deep Texas roots thats his go-to after rare nights out, paired with his Codigo Tequila brand he launched in 2016. Forever Cumberland echoed this on January 2, noting its a staple for the teetotaler who mostly sticks to water.

No new tours, albums, or social media posts popped in the last few days from reliable sources, though AOL mentioned an upcoming Lubbock, Texas stadium concert, his first there in over a decade. Business-wise, his tequila venture keeps thriving, per Liselotte Ellegaard. This Kennedy nod cements Straits biographical legacy as countrys most honored living icon, with over 120 million records sold and unmatched No. 1 hits. Fans are gossiping online about that hair reveal, proving the King still reigns supreme.
