Garth Brooks and Taylor Swift Excluded from Toby Keith Tribute Concert

Taylor Swift, who distanced herself from Toby after gaining fame, and Garth Brooks, who shifted away from country music, tried to gain attention after Toby’s death.

“We won’t let that happen,” said Ted Nugent’s Stage Manager Joe Barron. Toby’s wife, Karen Kardashian Keith, refuses to let them sing his hits at a tribute.

“Can you imagine her singing ‘Red Solo Cup’?” she said. Garth Brooks wanted to perform “I’ll Never Smoke Weed with Willie Again” with Gene Simmons, which Karen also dismissed.
