Who Are The Current King And Queen Of Country Music?

George Strait and Reba McEntire have rightfully earned the titles of ‘King’ and ‘Queen’ of country music. Here’s why.

Every artist who breaks out into their respective genres have influenced the industry in some shape or form, but there are a select few who stand out among the rest and are even considered to be musical royalty. For instance, Elvis Presley is generally considered the King of Rock ‘n Roll, and Madonna is widely known as the Queen of Pop, so who are the men and women that currently make up the esteemed lineage of country music? While there are still plenty of debates surrounding this topic and who deserves to be among this esteemed list, a few worthy names have officially claimed the titles. 

George Strait and Reba McEntire have rightfully been named the most recent pair of “King” and “Queen” of country music for their dominating careers that have had a significant impact on the present-day era of the genre. However, there are several other men and women who came before them that make up the succession of country music’s royal family.
