Country singer Brad Paisley took the stage over at RODEOHOUSTON for his 13th performance, but a picture taken before the concert is going viral.

The picture is not a shot of the country singer, but rather a pair of empty seats reserved for George and Barbara Bush.

The picture was posted on  Facebook around 6:35 p.m. on Saturday. Once it hit social media, the picture was shared thousands of times.

Well done RodeoHouston. Well done.

One Facebook user, who shared the picture, stated, “Sorry but not sorry to say this… rodeo folks are by far some of the most respectful, patriotic people in the US!! Well done RODEOHOUSTON … well done!!!”
