This year's honorees included singer and actor Cher, composer and pianist Philip Glass, country music entertainer Reba McEntire, and jazz saxophonist and composer Wayne Shorter. In addition to the regular honorees, the cocreators of Hamilton — writer and actor Lin-Manuel Miranda, director Thomas Kail, choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler, and music director Alex Lacamoire — received a unique Kennedy Center Honor.
The broadcast featured tribute performances by Kelly Clarkson, Lady Antebellum, Kristin Chenoweth, Brooks and Dunn, Little Big Town, Adam Lambert, and Cyndi Lauper, as well as some of the original Hamilton cast members.
