The death of country artist Toby Keith, who was 62 years old, has been attributed to cancer. In the wake of his departure, anecdotes from his life are coming to light, including the unexpected role he played in the career of Taylor Swift.

In 2005, Taylor Swift was a relatively unknown high school student who had "wildest dreams" of being a famous pop singer. Today, she is one of the most famous pop stars in the world, when she is 34 years old.

The musician who was known for his song "Should've Been a Cowboy" was already a well-known celebrity at the time.

Before leaving his position as an executive at DreamWorks, Scott Borchetta established the record label known as Big Machine Records. Show Dog Nashville was established by Keith in the same year as Big Machine was established, and subsequent to that, the two record labels collaborated closely with one another.

In an interview with CMT Insider at the time, Borchetta stated, "I would encourage people to think of this as one label with two A&R sources." "Toby is the lead act, and we have an incredible opportunity with all of the resources that he brings, as well as the music that he loves and his vision for what he wants to do," said the manager.According to the Tennessean, Borchetta was the one who signed Swift; nevertheless, Keith was instrumental in the establishment of the label that ultimately signed Swift.

Swift provides an explanation of how Keith was helpful in getting her signed when she was a virtual unknown in an interview that was conducted in 2005 with WSMV 4, Nashville. The interview was conducted with Swift when she was 15 years old. In addition to that, she discussed the significance of their relationship in the beginning stages of her career.

The words "You're in the room with him and you can feel it" were spoken by Swift in reference to her father."You are just like, 'Oh my God!' because there is a power there to begin with. It is quite unlikely that I will ever reach a point in my life when I do not come across him and exclaim, "Oh my God, that is Toby Keith!" In most cases, people discover what they want to do with their lives while they are in college, which is a wonderful thing to know, but for me, it simply came a little bit sooner than that," she went on to say.

It has been stated that Keith continued to have shares in Big Machine Records even after the two labels became more distinct, which resulted in him receiving financial compensation from Swift.
The contract that Swift had with Big Machine Records was terminated in November of 2018, following the release of six albums. The purchase of Big Machine by Scooter Braun's company, Ithaca Holdings, in 2019 resulted in a public battle between Braun and Taylor Swift. This feud prompted Swift to release re-recordings of songs from her first six albums, which she referred to as "Taylor's version."

An announcement on Keith's passing was made on Tuesday through an Instagram post. The message stated that Keith "passed peacefully" on Monday evening while he was "surrounded by his family members."

What was written in the statement was that "He fought his fight with grace and courage." We ask that you respect the privacy of his family during this difficult time. There has been no announcement made by Swift on the passing of Keith.

One of Taylor Swift's fans said on X, "Taylor Swift has the opportunity to really drive this country insane by thanking Toby Keith for believing in her from the beginning (and recording a tribute version of "I Wanna Talk About Me")" According to the comments of another fan, "NGL, a Taylor Swift tribute to Toby Keith could bring a lot of healing to the United States of America."

Another admirer expressed their sorrow by saying, "RIP to the great Toby Keith — all of you Swifties out there, remember that without Toby, there may have never been any Taylor Swift on the planet."
