Should’ve Been A Cowboy” Sung by Blake Shelton & Toby Keith During the 2018 ACM Awards

In 2018, Blake Shelton made a notable comeback to the ACM Awards, marking his much-anticipated return after a hiatus. The buzz among fans was palpable as they speculated over which hit track he would grace the stage with.

Contrary to expectations that Shelton might belt out his then-latest single “I Lived It” or the acclaimed “I’ll Name the Dogs,” he took everyone by surprise with a nostalgic act. In a nod to the ACM’s “ACM Throwback” theme, Shelton teamed up with the legendary Toby Keith to celebrate the 25th anniversary of hits from 1993.

Their collaborative performance spotlighted Keith’s seminal anthem, “Should’ve Been a Cowboy,” aligning perfectly with Keith’s commemoration of the song’s quarter-century legacy through his “The Should’ve Been A Cowboy Tour XXV.”

The duo’s dynamic presence at the ACM Awards was electrifying, compelling the audience to stand and immerse themselves in the momentous occasion. The performance earned roaring applause and etched an unforgettable memory in the hearts of both attendees and viewers.

The rendition of “Should’ve Been a Cowboy” by Shelton and Keith undeniably stood out as one of the evening’s most memorable moments, underscoring their exceptional synergy and prowess in a performance that was nothing short of legendary.
