George Strait and Chris Stapleton teamed up for a duet of ‘All My Ex’s’ on stage in 2017.
In September 2017, George Strait and Chris Stapleton shared the stage for a memorable duet of “All My Ex’s Live in Texas,” a classic hit from Strait’s 1987 album Ocean Front Property. This special performance took place during a benefit concert at the Majestic Theater in San Antonio, Texas, organized by Strait in response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey. The event was a part of broader relief efforts that included the Hand in Hand telethon, and it successfully raised over $40 million to support the victims of the disaster.
The duet between Strait and Stapleton was particularly significant due to the longstanding admiration and collaboration between the two country music icons. Stapleton, who had previously co-written Strait’s 2011 hit “Love’s Gonna Make It Alright,” brought his distinctive voice to the performance, creating a captivating blend with Strait’s signature style. Their rendition of “All My Ex’s Live in Texas” was one of the highlights of the night, delighting the audience and adding a unique twist to the beloved song.
The choice of this song for the duet was fitting, as “All My Ex’s Live in Texas” has been one of Strait’s most enduring hits, reaching the top of the country charts in both the U.S. and Canada upon its release. Over the years, it has remained a staple in Strait’s live performances, and the addition of Stapleton’s powerful vocals brought a fresh energy to the classic tune during this special concert.
