Toby Keith and Blake Shelton’s Rendition of “Should’ve Been A Cowboy” Highlights the 2018 ACM Awards
In 2018, Blake Shelton graced the ACM Awards stage once again after a notable hiatus, stirring excitement among fans who were curious about which of his popular tracks he would bring to life.
Speculation was rife that Shelton might belt out his recent hit “I Lived It” or maybe the acclaimed “I’ll Name the Dogs.” However, he took everyone by surprise by opting for a nostalgic number. In a nod to the ACM’s “ACM Throwback” segment, Shelton teamed up with the legendary Toby Keith to celebrate the 25th anniversary of hits from 1993.
Their collaborative performance featured Keith’s seminal hit, “Should’ve Been a Cowboy,” which was particularly fitting as Keith was commemorating the song’s 25th anniversary with his “The Should’ve Been A Cowboy Tour XXV.”
The duo’s dynamic performance at the ACM Awards was a spectacle, igniting the crowd into a standing ovation and creating a memorable moment for all in attendance. Their delivery of “Should’ve Been a Cowboy” stood out as one of the evening’s most memorable performances, highlighting their synergy and prowess in a momentous musical showcase.
