The 2024 Country Music Awards honored Toby Keith with a tribute, but fans are calling it ‘weak’ and ‘disgraceful.’
The 2024 Country Music Awards sparked an uproar among country music fans with what many called a “disgraceful” tribute to the late Toby Keith.
Instead of a grand homage fitting for the country legend, who passed away on February 5, 2024 after a battle with stomach cancer, the ceremony opted for a fleeting moment that left fans feeling shortchanged.
During the awards ceremony, which took place Wednesday, November 20, CMA hosts Luke Bryan, Lainey Wilson, and Peyton Manning raised a red Solo Cup — a nod to Keith’s hit song “Red Solo Cup” — and shared a few words.
“We want to take a moment to toast the great Toby Keith”, Bryan, 48, said.
