Holding a place in country music for nearly 50 years, George Strait did more than release hit songs as he sold over 120 million albums. Winning numerous awards over the years, the country singer seemed to strike a chord with fans as he dominated the airwaves with songs like “I Cross My Heart” and “Amarillo By Morning.” Throughout the years, the singer also helmed more than a few concerts. And always wanting to make the night memorable for fans, he once shared the stage with Vince Gill to cover the hit song “Love Bug.”

Much like Strait, Gill holds a significant spot in the music industry. Producing several hit songs himself, the singer also joined forces with stars like Kelly Clarkson, Patty Loveless, and Maren Morris for some memorable recordings. But back in 2014, Strait and Gill traveled to Arlington, Texas for a special performance at AT&T Stadium—better known to some as the home of the Dallas Cowboys. With the stadium packed with fans, the duo took the stage, performing “Love Bug.” As the caption of the video states, safe to say the duo left fans “all shook up.”
The One Country Singer Who Honored George Strait With Tattoo
Although performing the song over a decade ago, both singers continue to gain praise from fans. “Problem with being an English country fan is not being able to get to concerts like this. Love George Strait. His voice makes me melt.” One person added, “Love it. Love ya, George Strait. You and Vince are great singers. Been listening to you for years. Keep up the great singing.”
While fans can’t get enough of Strait and Gill, one country singer took his love for Strait to an entirely different level when he tattooed his hit song on his butt. Discussing how much he loved Strait, Koe Wetzel revealed he tattooed “Amarillo By Morning” on his backside. But that wasn’t his only tattoo.
Explaining the one tattoo he doesn’t like, Wetzel said, “We were down in Destin, Florida partying one night and this dude comes up just like, ‘Hey man I’m a huge fan, I wanna tattoo you.’ And I was like, ‘Alright.’ He had a bunch of good lookin’ girls with him though, so I was like, ‘Hell yeah.’”He added, “He pulls out his kit and he starts tattooing. I said I want ‘Slow Women and Fast Horses.’ After he got done with Slow I was like, ‘Dude you don’t have a whole lotta room to work with. It’s getting a little late, so let’s just put Fast right underneath it.’ Kinda one of those nights I wish I wouldn’t have drank so much whiskey.”
