The newly designed medals, crafted and donated by Tiffany & Co., were awarded to the honorees. On the red carpet, Strait conveyed his gratitude, saying, "Its a great honor" to be acknowledged by the Kennedy Center Honors.
In a ceremony held in the Oval Office, President Trump presented each 2025 Kennedy Center honoree with a Tiffany medal, commending them as "incredible people" who embody the "very best in American arts and culture."
