It’s been a big week for country music legend George Strait. First, he was announced as a recipient of one of the 2025 Kennedy Center Honors, and now it has been announced that he will be inducted into the Texas Heritage Songwriters Hall of Fame in early 2026. This is his first major honor as a songwriter.
