Taylor Swift and Toby Keith go way back. In resurfaced video following Keith’s death, a young Swift praises the country musician.
Music fans and musicians alike are grappling with the loss of revered country star Toby Keith, with many offering touching tributes to the « Should’ve Been A Cowboy » singer.
A fixture in country music, his impact can be traced back decades. In the wake of his passing, a 2005 video from a Nashville news station has resurfaced, showing a teenage Taylor Swift lauding Keith, months before the release of her debut album.
Keith, a major stakeholder in Big Machine Records, Swifts’ former label, was said to have advocated for the Pennsylvania native early in her career.
« You’re in the room with him and you can feel it. There’s a power there, and you’re just like ‘Oh my God,' » Swift told Nashville’s WSMV.
