Country Music Awards To Honor George Strait

The country crooner has an extensive collection of awards thanks to his impressive discography. He’ll add another award later this month at the 2024 Country Music Awards. George Strait is this year’s recipient of the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award. Nelson was obviously the first winner in 2012. It’s not an annual award, but who else has won the honor?

  • Willie Nelson (2012)
  • Kenny Rogers (2013)
  • Johnny Cash (2015)
  • Dolly Parton (2016)
  • Kris Kristofferson (2019)
  • Charley Pride (2020)
  • Loretta Lynn (2021)
  • Alan Jackson (2022)

George Strait’s 2014 performance at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, holds the record for the largest indoor concert in North America, with 104,793 attendees. He also has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

According to Taste of Country, George Strait hasn’t confirmed that he will show up to accept the award in person. However, this year’s CMAs are worth the watch regardless.

2024 CMA Performers

Lainey Wilson joins the returning hosts Luke Bryan and Peyton Manning as co-hosts. Bryan and Wilson will pull double duty as performers. Who else will take the stage?

Post Malone performs solo and also joins Chris Stapleton for a rendition of their “California Sober” duet. Thomas Rhett and Teddy Swims are slated to perform “Something About A Woman” and “Lose Control.” Other performers include Dierks Bentley, Ashley McBryde, and Molly Tuttle. Shaboozy will perform his number one hit song “A Bar Song (Tipsy.)”

Noticeably absent from the performers is Morgan Wallen, who leads the pack with seven nominations, including Entertainer of the Year. Lainey Wilson, Luke Combs, Jelly Roll, and Chris Stapleton are also up for that award.

How To Watch

The 2024 Country Music Awards aren’t far off. Set your calendar for Wednesday, November 20, to (hopefully) watch George Strait accept his award. The CMAs are at 8 PM Eastern on CBS and stream live on Paramount+ premium tier subscribers.
