Stereogum — The Kennedy Center has officially embraced its first post-"woke" class of honorees. Over the summer, Donald Trump announced that the institution will honor KISS, Sylvester Stallone, George Strait, Gloria Gaynor, and Phantom Of The Opera star Michael Crawford, explaining: "We ended the woke political programming, and we’re restoring the Kennedy Center as the premier venue for performing arts anywhere in the country, anywhere in the world... Maybe next year, we'll honor Trump, OK?” The president and Kennedy Center chairman has also said that he begrudgingly agreed to host tonight's ceremony after being allegedly begged to do so.
