He spotlighted Norma again, reiterating his gratitude to her for always supporting him for almost 53 years. As George said this, the camera panned back to the audience to focus on Norma.
Standing close to the supportive wife was Simone, who looked Norma up and down with a distinct expression that did not go unnoticed by social media users.

“Gosh, what a look,” observed a user on TikTok, while another pointed out, “I saw that.. I was like […] what a look.. the [sic] look of jealousy. Especially with everyone else clapping and smiling.” “That’s what jealousy looks like,” echoed a netizen. Yet another person reiterated, “Eyes of jealousy.”

Another wrote, “Simone should have stayed home.” “Why was she even there [sic] ??,” wondered someone else. Spectators on X also noticed Simone’s glance, with an observer penning, “[…] what Simone biles issue with Norma straight [sic]?!” “Simone Biles side-eyeing Norma Strait like she owes her money #CMAawards,” added another X user.
Responding directly to an outlet’s post about Simone’s side-eye, another stated, “Everyone in photo [sic] looks happy except for Simone.” “Why was she even there..?” pondered a commenter, echoing the same question another person had asked earlier.

Although the majority of people were not able to look past Simone’s disposition toward Norma, a few netizens focused on uplifting the gymnast with praise. “Simone looked Gorgeous ?,” swooned a fan, while a fellow admirer gushed, “She’s such a bright light! ?.”
@briantaylorlive I don’t think #simonebiles is a fan of King @George Strait and his wife, Queen Norma. #cmaawards #kinggeorgestrait #countrymusic #news #yall #fyp
