Toby Keith inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame | Music City Minute

Oct 23, 2024, 4:37 PM

On Sunday, October 20, Toby Keith was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. His 30-year career was highlighted during the medallion ceremony, where friends and fellow artists took the stage to sing a few of Keith’s most iconic songs. Eric Church performed “Don’t Let the Old Man In,” and Blake Shelton sang a medley of “I Love This Bar” and “Red Solo Cup.” Toby’s wife, Tricia, was on hand to accept the medallion on her husband’s behalf. During her speech, she recognized her husband’s selfless pursuits such as the Toby Keith Foundation, Kids Korral and unwavering support for U.S. military members. Tricia went on honor Toby’s career saying, he was “a songwriter first and foremost,” and that Keith didn’t just sing the songs he wrote, “He was those songs.” I don’t think there was a dry eye in the house that night.
