The King of Country Music, the Italian Stallion, and Broadway’s original Phantom of the Opera gathered in the Oval Office on Dec. 6 as some of this year’s recipients of the Kennedy Center Honors Medallion.

“I’ve been a fan of all of them, and it’s been a real honor to get to know them during this little period of time,” President Donald Trump said during the presentation ceremony. ”This is a group of icons whose work and accomplishments have inspired, uplifted, and unified millions and millions of Americans.”
