The 2024 CMT Music Awards paid tribute to the late Toby Keith with several songs and a very special toast with red solo cups. Country stars Brooks &;amp; Dunn and Lainey Wilson and rock legend Sammy Hagar performed covers of Tobys classics Shouldve Been a Cowboy‚ How Do You Like Me Now?!‚ and I Love This Bar during the ceremony‚ all while the crowd drank from solo cups. But it was a special tribute that truly set the mood. To kick off the three performances‚ former MLB pitcherRoger Clemens‚ who was close friends with Toby Keith‚ asked the crowd to stand and raise their cups to the iconic singer. As they did‚ he said‚ Repeat after melet Toby hear ya repeat after me. Whiskey for my men‚ and beer for my horses.
