Jason Aldean was inspired by Toby Keith to be true to himself through the late country star's decades-long career. Aldean says he admired the way Keith 'always spoke his mind,' even if what he had to say wasn't the 'popular opinion.' 'I think Toby was a guy for a lot of us in the business – well, I'll speak for myself. I think he was a guy that a lot of us looked up to,' Aldean told Fox News Digital ahead of the 2024 Academy of Country Music Awards.
Aldean is performing a tribute to Keith at the 59th Academy of Country Music Awards on Thursday evening. 'As far as being a musician, I mean, he's one of the best songwriters that's come through town in a long time,' Aldean said of the legendary singer-songwriter. 'And anybody that's around that long has that kind of longevity to their career, I mean, that kind of speaks for itself.' Keith died on Feb.
Keith was known best for his hit song 'Should've Been a Cowboy.' The tune became the most-played country song of the 1990s, as it was played on the radio 3 million times.
