Priscilla Block takes a piece of country icon Toby Keith with her everywhere she goes. In a new social media video, she proudly showed off her Toby Keith key chain hanging from her purse.
Block joked that while some people carry the trendy collectible dolls known as Labubus on their bags, she prefers something with a little more country flair.
“All of y’all are about Labubus on your bags, but do you have a Toby Keith Keith chain? No you don’t. That’s my Labubu! We love you, Toby,” she said with a laugh.
“Toby Keith forever,” she captioned the post.
Block’s love for Toby Keith is no secret. She previously told Country Now, “Toby is somebody that’s inspired a lot of people. He’s inspired me as an artist and a songwriter just to stay true to yourself and stand up for what you believe in.”
Last year, Block honored the late country legend during the NBC special Toby Keith: American Icon, where she shared the stage with Trace Adkins, Luke Bryan, Jelly Roll, and more in the Oklahoma native’s honor.
She told us she had her team clear her calendar so she could be there.
“We got the call three days ago about this and I was like, ‘cancel anything on my calendar.’ I would love to be there,” she revealed.
Right now, Block is on the road with Cole Swindell as part of his Happy Hour Sad Tour. This fall, she’ll launch her own headlining trek, the Monster Energy Outbreak: Things You Didn’t See Tour, in support of her upcoming sophomore album, Things You Didn’t See, arriving October 10.
The new project showcases a more vulnerable side of the singer-songwriter than ever before. Across 14 tracks, she explores deeply personal topics including struggles with body image, online negativity, the mental toll of life in the spotlight, finding her artistic identity, and the challenges of fitting into country music’s traditional mold.
Fans have already gotten a taste of what’s to come with the release of her raw new song, “Couldn’t Care Less.” Co-written with Trannie Anderson, Alex Maxwell, and Cole Taylor, the track sheds light on Block’s feelings of being misunderstood, criticized, and overlooked when her name isn’t called at award shows.
“Writing ‘Couldn’t Care Less’ was the therapy I didn’t even know I needed. For a long time, people have seen me as bulletproof, but this is a side they haven’t seen. It’s the misunderstood part of me… the insecurities that come with being human. It feels like the perfect way to lead into my record ‘Things You Didn’t See,’ coming October 10th,” she explained.
