Rating: Labeled Satire
A rumor that legendary country musician George Strait canceled an upcoming show with iconic rocker Bruce Springsteen circulated online in May 2025. The claim alleged that Strait took offense to Springsteen's recent political statements, prompting him to pull out of their appearance together.
The rumor spread after Springsteen traded verbal blows with Donald Trump in mid-May, calling the U.S. president's administration "corrupt, incompetent and treasonous." Trump fired back at the musician, branding him a "dried out 'prune' of a rocker.
The claim involving Strait gained traction after conservative celebrities posted it on X.
