Looking radiant in a glittering black dress, Krystal Keith stirred up emotions with the beautiful song she sang in tribute to her late dad. She previously discussed how she knew the tribute would move her to tears.
Honoring the incredible legacy her iconic late father left behind after his passing, Toby Keith’s daughter, Krystal Keith, sang one of his hit songs during the “Toby Keith: American Icon” concert, which aired yesterday, August 28. Emotional fans who saw her performance showered her with love and praise.

Shining in a beautiful sparkling black dress that featured see-through, and ruffled short sleeves, and one of Toby’s striking black cowboy hats, Krystal commanded the stage.
Accompanied by a talented live band, the “Daddy Dance With Me” artist belted out the words to her late father’s famous song, “Don’t Let The Old Man In.”
Captivating the audience with her powerful vocals, Krystal sauntered around the stage singing every song lyric with passion.
Video footage showing a snippet of her moving performance, which was posted on Instagram, depicted close-up shots of her face filled with emotion.
Adding an extra layer of sentimentality to the show, a video compilation showing heartwarming pictures of Krystal and Toby played on a projector screen behind Krystal as she sang.
“There wasn’t a dry eye in the room when Toby’s daughter @KrystalKeith gave this beautiful performance of ‘Don’t Let The Old Man In’ […] You can catch it, along with performances from dozens of your favorite stars, TONIGHT at 9/8c on @NBC and streaming on @peacock,” read the caption accompanying the video post of Krystal’s performance.
Much like the caption above describes how emotional the audience was during Krystal’s performance, online observers were equally moved upon seeing the post. “Wow this is going to make me cry,” expressed a netizen on Instagram.
Another echoed, “So beautiful, I’m crying. Such an amazing voice. ❤️[…]?.” “Beautiful song she’s just like her dad lovely voice,” swooned an admirer.
Jumping on the praise bandwagon, someone else gushed, “Beautiful! You look stunning and so proud to wear your father’s hat! Toby was one [helluva] man.”
“Take after dad please sing for him… love you…” penned another person. An additional comment noted, “I can hear our [Toby’s] voice singing this song!???.”
Foreshadowing how her performance would go, Krystal spoke about the tribute concert for her late father to a media outlet before the event. The “I Got You” singer divulged how she already knew that when she was asked to sing “Don’t Let The Old Man In,” it would be a tough performance.

“I was thinking, ‘OK, I can make it through a party song.’ But when [producers] approached me with [‘Don’t Let The Old Man In’], I was like, ‘Well […] I already cry with that song, just listening to it. I don’t know how I’m going to sing it,'” Krystal disclosed.
What made the song, which is about ruminating on death, extra difficult to sing was the fact that it was the same song Toby had sung during his final performance before he met his demise in February. He was 62 when he died as a result of stomach cancer.

However, Krystal managed to overcome her reservations and revealed how she ended up being happy that producers had asked her to sing it. “I’m glad they did, though, because it turned out really special. I think that he would’ve been proud of it,” she said.
Despite initial reservations that Krystal and her family had about the timing of the tribute concert, she expressed how everything came together as “authentically Toby Keith.”
Some nuances that made the concert quintessentially Toby included having a bar on stage, a big American flag, and getting involvement from the military.
“It really epitomizes who he was and hits all of the things he loved in his life: his family, his foundation, his music and the military,” Krystal shared.
The two-hour special also saw the legendary likes of Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, Ashley McBryde, Lainey Wilson, Eric Church, and Darius Rucker perform during the concert.
