COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Hopefully, you didn't wait too long to put on your boots and head to Aggieland to see the King of Country Music put on a historic show at Kyle Field on Saturday night.
That's because all roads to College Station were backed up for miles with traffic hours before the George Strait concert.
The excitement for the show has been brewing for months, ever since Strait announced it would be happening back in March. It's also Strait's only show in Texas this year.
Here's a look at what it looked like on 105 westbound approaching Highway 6 in Navasota. The photo was credited to Jamie Royse and posted to X by KBTX anchor Rusty Surette.

The show
Strait will perform along with Conroe native Parker McCollum and New Braunfels native Catie Offerman.
It will be the first concert ever held at the home of the Texas A&M University football team.
The Grammy-award-winning Strait has a career that’s spanned more than 40 years, with 60 No. 1 singles. Strait, who is a native Texan, was a 2006 inductee into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
