The centerpiece event for Washingtonโs Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts normally happens in December, but it was postponed last year amid the pandemic.
But even with COVID-19 vaccines gradually rolling out across the country, Kennedy Center President Deborah Rutter knew the usual concert would not be possible in May.
โIt's normally such a festive event, and I'm sure that will come across.โBrooks is no stranger to the Kennedy Center Honors process.
Trump and first lady Melania Trump generally stayed away from Kennedy Center events, but Rutter hopes to get President-elect Joe Biden involved this year.
