Toby Keith is back! Just two weeks after making a return to the stage, Keith took to Instagram to share a video of him performing yet again – though this performance was a bit more unique as he showed off his karaoke skills in the back of an Uber. Don’t worry, he sang one of his biggest hits and did the song justice.
Not only did his Uber driver get paid to drive, but he got a free concert out of it, as well. “This is what happens when my Uber has a karaoke machine,” Keith wrote in the caption – the post received nearly 70,000 likes on Instagram, but went even more viral on TikTok with four million views and 575,000+ likes.
He sang his hit song, ‘Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American), which was released in 2002 as part of his Unleashed album. The song was inspired by the death of his father and 9/11 – it only took him about 20 minutes to write the lyrics and he wrote it on the back of a Fantasy Football sheet.
Toby Keith was given quite the ovation (seated, of course) by his audience – which included his Uber driver and the few others accompanying him in the vehicle. Considering what the country music singer has gone through in the past two years, it’s good to see him smiling, singing, and entertaining again.
It was just 12 months ago that Toby Keith revealed he had been diagnosed with stomach cancer in the fall of 2021.
