Brad Paisley was inducted into the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo’s prestigious Star Trail of Fame on Saturday, March 18. Following his induction ceremony, Paisley performed to a sold-out audience of 74,577 people inside NRG Stadium.

The Star Trail of Fame pays tribute to the stars that have made an impact on the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Paisley is the 10th star honored with a gold plaque to commemorate his years of outstanding entertainment on the RodeoHouston stage. He has performed at the event every year since 2014, and his 2023 performance marked his 15th time overall. With the honor, Paisley joins an elite group of Star Trail of Fame inductees including Brooks & Dunn, Alan Jackson, George Strait, Selena and more.

“We are so grateful for Brad’s continuous support of the show and his overall impact on our community,” said Chris Boleman, Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo President & CEO. “We are thrilled that Brad Paisley will now be a permanent part of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo with a place on the Star Trail of Fame.”

“RodeoHouston has invested in this show, in a way that I’ve never seen,” said Paisley. “I can’t even tell you what it means. The names up [in the Star Trail of Fame] are absolutely staggering. And that’s what’s crazy, you see Selena, Elvis, Roy Rogers …and then some guy that nobody knows.”

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo promotes agriculture by hosting an annual, family-friendly experience that educates and entertains the public, supports Texas youth, showcases Western heritage and provides year-round educational support within the community. Since 1932, the Rodeo has committed more than $575 million to the youth of Texas and education.
