The King of Country Music , George Strait, makes HIS WIFE EMOTIONAL at the 2024 CMA Awards. 
“My family, who are all here tonight. My wife Norma, my son Bubba, his wife Tamara, and my grandkids Harvey and Jilliann. It’s so great to have you all here.  But especially Norma, who’s supported me for just shy of 53 YEARS in December. It’s been an amazing 53 years.”

When the “king of country music” George Strait accepted the CMA Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2024 CMA Awards on Nov. 20, his family, including his grandchildren were in the audience cheering him on.

Strait, whose successful career spans over 40 years, would go on to thank his family in his acceptance speech, after some of his biggest hits were given a star-studded tribute at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.

“Last but not least, my family who are all here tonight — my wife Norma, my son Bubba, his wife Tamara, my grandkids Harvey and Jilliann — so great to have y’all here, but especially Norma, who supported me for just shy of 53 years in December, it’s been an amazing 53 years too,” Strait said.

Strait joins a select list of country music stars who have been honored with the CMA Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award, which according to a press release, “recognizes those who have achieved both national and international prominence and stature through concert performances, humanitarian efforts, philanthropy, streaming numbers, record sales and public representation at the highest level.”
