ST.THE HISTORY OF A COUNTRY IS ABOUT TO BE LAUNCHED đșđž â GEORGE STRAIT WILL BE AN EXCLUSIVE HOST ON THE âALL-AMERICAN HALF-TIME SHOWâ

George Strait to Headline âThe All-American Halftime Show,â a Faith-Filled, Patriotic Alternative to the Super Bowl
When George Strait walks on stage this February, it wonât just be another concert â it will be a moment written into American music history.
Dubbed âThe All-American Halftime Show,â the event promises to bring back something many say has been missing from modern entertainment: faith, family, and love of country.

For millions of fans across the nation, this is more than music.
Itâs a declaration â a reminder of what America stands for.
A Legacy Born From Love and Loss
The show is being produced by Erika Kirk, widow of the late Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA and one of the most influential conservative voices of his generation.
Charlieâs untimely passing left a void â not only in politics, but in culture. He was a man who believed Americaâs heartbeat was in its faith and its families. And now, Erika is determined to honor that belief in the most powerful way possible.
âCharlie believed that culture shapes everything,â Erika said in a recent interview. âHe always told me: âMusic reaches the heart before politics ever can.â This show is my way of carrying that forward â of turning grief into gratitude.â
She calls The All-American Halftime Show her husbandâs âfinal wish made real.â
A Patriotic Response to the Super Bowl
The idea behind the event began as a simple question: What if halftime didnât divide the country, but united it?
Over the years, the Super Bowl halftime show has become as famous for its controversies as for its performances â a stage where politics, celebrity culture, and spectacle often overshadow the game itself.
This yearâs official Super Bowl LX halftime headliner, Bad Bunny, has sparked fierce backlash among traditional fans who say the NFL has abandoned its roots.
Erika Kirk saw an opportunity.
âInstead of complaining, we decided to create something better â something that uplifts rather than provokes,â she said.
The All-American Halftime Show will air at the same time as the Super Bowl halftime break, offering what organizers call âa faith-driven, family-safe alternativeâ featuring some of Americaâs most beloved performers.
George Strait: The King Returns
At the heart of the lineup stands George Strait, the legendary âKing of Country.â
For over four decades, Straitâs voice has defined an era â one of cowboy hats, American grit, and songs that speak to the soul. From âAmarillo by Morningâ to âCarrying Your Love With Meâ, his music has become a soundtrack for generations who grew up believing in God, country, and home.
Now, at 72, heâs ready to remind America that those values still matter.
âIâm honored to be part of this,â Strait said in a brief statement. âCharlieâs message was about hope â and thatâs what music should bring. This isnât about politics. Itâs about pride â the good kind.â
For fans, seeing Strait headline again feels almost sacred. For Erika, itâs a miracle.

A Star-Studded Lineup of Faith and Freedom
Joining Strait on stage will be other icons of country and Americana â including rumored appearances from Alan Jackson, Carrie Underwood, and Reba McEntire, all of whom have been vocal about their faith and patriotism.
The stage design itself will be unlike anything fans have seen before. Set inside a packed arena in Dallas, Texas, the show will feature a massive digital backdrop displaying the American flag, alongside tributes to fallen soldiers and everyday heroes â teachers, farmers, police officers, and nurses.
One segment will feature a recorded message from veterans and Gold Star families, while another will include a gospel choir performing âGod Bless the USA.â
But perhaps the most emotional moment of the night will come midway through, when Erika Kirk takes the stage to deliver a personal message about her late husband.
âThis isnât just a show,â she told reporters. âItâs a thank-you â to God, to Charlie, and to the people who still believe in the promise of America.â
The Meaning Behind the Music
Each performance in The All-American Halftime Show will tell a story â not of celebrity, but of conviction.
George Strait will open the show with a tribute to American service members, performing a stripped-down version of âThe Weight of Freedomâ accompanied by acoustic guitar and violin.
Carrie Underwood will reportedly follow with âJesus, Take the Wheelâ, while Reba McEntire is expected to close the night with âBack to God.â
Between performances, short film segments will highlight stories of ordinary Americans doing extraordinary things â a firefighter who saved a child, a single mother who started a ministry, a veteran who helps other veterans rebuild their lives.
Erika says each story is meant to remind viewers that âthe real stars of America are not on TV screens â theyâre the people we walk past every day.â
Faith Over Fame
In a time when the entertainment industry often avoids faith and patriotism, The All-American Halftime Show dares to do the opposite.
It doesnât mock belief. It celebrates it.
It doesnât question Americaâs worth. It honors it.
And that, according to organizers, is exactly why the event has already sold out its 60,000-seat venue, with millions more expected to watch the live broadcast online.
Sponsors are lining up â not for controversy, but for conviction. Christian brands, veteransâ organizations, and family-centered companies have joined forces to make the show possible.
âWeâre proving you can create something beautiful and bold without bowing to the culture wars,â Erika said. âWeâre here to lift people up â not tear them down.â
Carrying Charlieâs Flame
Throughout the planning process, Erika has leaned heavily on Charlieâs old journals and notes â many of which contained his dreams for blending culture and faith.
In one entry, he wrote:
âIf we lose art, we lose hearts. And if we lose hearts, we lose the country.â
That quote will appear on the big screen during the final segment of the show, followed by a montage of Charlieâs most inspiring moments and a dedication reading:
âIn memory of Charlie Kirk â The Voice That Still Echoes.â
Erika says she hopes the tribute will inspire others to âstand firm, speak boldly, and love deeply.â
A Nation Watching
As anticipation builds, the conversation around The All-American Halftime Show has already reached global audiences. Some call it a revival of American tradition. Others see it as a quiet revolution against the cynicism of pop culture.
Either way, itâs capturing attention â not through scandal, but through sincerity.
âWhen legends share the stage, itâs not just music,â Erika said, smiling. âItâs history â the kind our children can be proud of.â
The Voice of One Nation
When George Strait strums the first chord and the lights flood the arena in red, white, and blue, millions will be watching â not just to hear a song, but to feel something theyâve been missing: unity, pride, and peace.

It will be more than a performance.
It will be a prayer â sung not to divide a nation, but to remind it who it is.
Because The All-American Halftime Show isnât just entertainment.
Itâs the voice of One Nation Under God â and a reminder that in a world full of noise, America still knows how to sing.
