Country music fans, prepare to have your hearts melted! Scotty McCreery, the “American Idol” alum and chart-topping country star, recently shared a moment that proves talent truly runs in the family. His 2-year-old son, Avery, stepped into the spotlight—or rather, the studio—with a tribute to the King of Country himself, George Strait, and it’s almost too cute to handle.

In a heartwarming scene, little Avery joined his dad in the recording studio, where he belted out a line from Strait’s classic hit, “The Chair,” in the sweetest toddler voice imaginable. With a microphone nearly as big as he is, Avery’s pint-sized performance was captured on video, and it’s already stealing the show. “He’s got that twang down already,” McCreery said with a proud grin in an interview with Country Now. “I didn’t even coach him—he just picked it up from listening to me and the radio!”

The moment came about organically, according to McCreery. “We were messing around in the studio, and I started singing ‘The Chair’—one of my all-time favorites. Next thing I know, Avery’s chiming in with ‘I’m right here!’ It was so unexpected, I couldn’t stop laughing.” The 31-year-old singer, known for hits like “Five More Minutes” and “This Is It,” quickly grabbed his phone to record the impromptu duet, knowing fans would lose their minds over it.

And lose their minds they did. After McCreery posted the clip to his social media with the caption, “Talent runs deep in this family—my little man’s already channeling George Strait! 😍,” the video racked up thousands of likes and comments within hours. Fans couldn’t get enough of Avery’s adorable delivery, with one writing, “This is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen! George needs to see this!” Another added, “Future CMA winner right there—watch out, Scotty!”
For those who haven’t seen it yet, the video shows Avery standing on a stool next to his dad, clutching the mic stand with both hands. His tiny voice wobbles through the line, “Well, excuse me, but I think you’ve got my chair,” before he looks up at McCreery with a big smile, clearly pleased with himself. McCreery, beaming with fatherly pride, gives him a high-five and says, “That’s my boy!”
This isn’t the first time Avery has shown an interest in music. McCreery and his wife, Gabi, have shared glimpses of their son banging on toy drums and strumming a mini guitar at home. “He’s been around music since day one,” Gabi told People in a recent feature.

“Whether it’s Scotty singing or the radio playing, he’s always bopping along. But this George Strait moment? That’s next-level.”

The tribute holds special meaning for McCreery, who has long cited George Strait as one of his biggest influences. “Growing up, I wore out my dad’s George Strait CDs,” he said. “To see my own son singing one of those songs—it’s a full-circle moment I didn’t know I needed.” While there’s no word yet on whether the Country Music Hall of Famer has seen Avery’s rendition, fans are already tagging Strait in hopes of a reaction from the legend himself.

For now, McCreery is soaking up the joy of watching his son take his first steps—literally and figuratively—into the world of country music. “He’s only 2, so we’re not signing any record deals just yet,” he joked. “But if he keeps this up, I might have some competition in the family!”
