All hail the King of Nation Music … George Strait acquired his flowers on the Nation Music Awards … with a star-studded tribute and a few spectacular {hardware}.

George was honored at Wednesday’s award present at Bridgestone Area in Nashville with the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award … with Miranda Lambert, Lainey Wilson, Christ Stapleton, Parker McCollum and Jamey Johnson tipping their cowboy hats with a tribute efficiency.

The gang performed one in all George’s largest hits, “Troubadour” … and the group gave him a standing ovation when he grabbed the mic.

Jamey joined the tribute solely days after being arrested in close by Williamson County, TN for drug possession and rushing. He is written songs over time for George and Willie … so he wasn’t going to overlook this.

George joked throughout his acceptance speech the tribute covers of his songs have been so good he was glad he was sufficiently old to have the ability to report them first.

Previous winners of the CMA Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award embrace … Dolly Parton, Alan Jackson, Johnny Money, Loretta Lynn, Charley Delight, Kris Kristofferson and Willie himself.
