George Strait has received a lot of accolades over the course of his long career, but one recent moment in Texas may have topped them all.
The undeniable King of Country Music has sold more than 84 million albums. He’s had 33 different albums go Platinum or multi-Platinum albums. He even has more No. 1 songs than any other artist in history, including The King himself (yes, that’s Elvis). He has a Grammy, of course, and is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame and the National Cowboy Museum, where he won a Lifetime Achievement Award. He’s taken the top title of CMA Entertainer of the Year award twice in a row, has a National Medal of the Arts. American Music Awards, Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards, and is a member of the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame. He’s also the only act in history to have a Top 10 hit every year for over three decades.
We’re guessing that all those awards and honors don’t mean nearly as much as what happened at a recent show in his home state of Texas, though. Over 110,000 fans crammed into Kyle Field at Texas A&M to help Strait break the record for biggest ticketed concert in U.S. history. And all those fans seemed to be singing along with Strait as he performed his hit “Amarillo By Morning”.
A new video shared on social media reveals not only the scope of the massive crowd, but the power of fans joining together to raise their voices in song. It's a powerful moment of well-deserved adoration for Strait from his many, many fans.
