The audience was transported back to the golden days of classic country music, where freedom, fun, and boot-stomping joy reigned supreme. Strait’s performance was more than just a cover; it was a heartfelt tribute to Brooks & Dunn and a vivid reminder that the spirit of country music still beats strong.
