Hosted by 16-time ACM Award-winning icon, Reba McEntire, the 59th ACM Awards will feature additional performances and collaborations from a star-studded lineup, including Kelsea Ballerini, Kane Brown, Jelly Roll, Cody Johnson, Noah Kahan, Avril Lavigne, Miranda Lambert, Post Malone, McEntire, Parker McCollum, Thomas Rhett, Blake Shelton, Nate Smith, Chris Stapleton, Gwen Stefani, and Lainey Wilson.

This isn’t the only tribute Keith has received lately. Last year, the late icon learned that the University of Oklahoma (OU) would be presenting him an Honorary Degree at their 2024 Commencement.
The country legend was so honored and happy to be acknowledged by the University that he loved and sent his children to for their education. Walking the stage this Spring was something he was looking forward to before he tragically passed away on February 5.
At last weekend’s OU Commencement events, his daughter Krystal Keith proudly stood in to accept the honorary degree and share recollections of her father’s love and loyalty to the University.
