President Donald Trump has presented medals to the 2025 Kennedy Center honorees during an Oval Office ceremony. The recipients are actor Sylvester Stallone, singers Gloria Gaynor and George Strait, the rock band Kiss and actor-singer Michael Crawford. The Republican president said the group was “perhaps the most accomplished and renowned class of Kennedy Center Honorees ever assembled.” Songs by Gaynor and Kiss were played on a sound system in the Rose Garden patio just outside the Oval Office as reporters waited to be admitted. Trump was also joining the honorees at a traditional dinner at the State Department on Saturday.
