Texas country music stars George Strait and Miranda Lambert were inducted into the Texas Songwriters Hall of Fame by the Texas Heritage Songwriters Association at ACL Live on Saturday, along with veteran songwriter Don Cook and late country singer Keith Gattis. All four were presented with the “Willie” award, which signifies their impact on country music.

“Last night was one I will never forget as long as I live,” Lambert wrote on Instagram. “Being inducted into the Texas Songwriters Hall of Fame along with King George, Keith Gattis and Don Cook was the biggest honor I could ever dream of.”

Saturday night marked the 20th anniversary of the Texas Heritage Songwriters Association awards show and featured performances by Brooks & Dunn, Parker McCollum, Jamey Johnson and Dean Dillon.

“So happy to see George Strait get inducted into the Texas Songwriters HOF last night. So proud for him!” former Texas Longhorns football coach Mack Brown wrote on X.

Lambert — who hosted a star-studded benefit concert in August following last year’s devastating July 4 Central Texas floods — co-wrote the song “Choosin’ Texas” alongside breakout country star Ella Langley, which recently reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

“Texas is always home, and the music that came from our great state is the music that built me,” Lambert wrote. “Big Lone Star love to all that have supported me all these years. My heart is full.”

In January, Strait announced he will play two nights at Austin’s Moody Center on April 9 and 11. The next day, he added two more dates — May 15 and 16 — due to overwhelming demand. He previously played the arena’s 2022 grand opening with two sold-out shows, the first of which included a guest appearance from Willie Nelson.

While official tickets for Strait’s Austin shows quickly sold out, some are still available on resale websites such as StubHub, TickPick, Vivid Seats, SeatGeek and Ticketmaster’s in-house verified resale marketplace. Prices vary widely by site, with some seats listed for well over $1,000. Prices are likely to fluctuate as the show dates approach.
