Trump honored George Strait and five others as 2025 Kennedy Center Honorees in a White House ceremony, marking a shift in tradition.
On December 6, 2025, Trump honored George Strait and five other cultural figures as Kennedy Center Honorees in an Oval Office ceremony, marking a departure from tradition with a new venue, redesigned Tiffany & Co. medals, and a navy blue ribbon replacing the historic rainbow.
Honorees included Sylvester Stallone, Gloria Gaynor, rock band Kiss, and Michael Crawford.
Trump, who claimed influence over selections and reportedly rejected some artists as “too woke,” praised Strait and joked about his hair.
The changes follow broader shifts in Kennedy Center leadership under Trump, prompting criticism and resignations from artists like Shonda Rhimes and Renée Fleming.
The televised tribute, taped December 7, will air on CBS and Paramount+ later in December.
