Country music icon surprises fans, offers up autographs

George Strait is all about his fans.

Last Friday, day before he played Buffalo, the King of Country Music he surprised fans when he stopped to sign autographs for them.

A TikTok video captured the moment when a black, luxury SUV pulled up to some fans. Straight was sitting in the back with his wife, Norma.

A young fan approached with a guitar to sign.

“Hey big guy,” Strait said. “How we doin?!”

Strait has been busy as of late.

The country music legend gave away a home to a wounded military veteran.

Strait, during a concert in Pittsburgh, presented Sgt. Derek Austin, a Purple Heart recipient, a mortgage-free home.

Austin was injured by shrapnel while deployed in Afghanistan.

Strait presented Austin with an oversized key.
