Tim McGraw: He’s a household name, the quasi-subject of one of Taylor Swift‘s hits and one of country’s most beloved stars. The 55-year-old released his first single, “What Room Was the Holiday In,” on March 29, 1991, and though it didn’t fare well on the charts, it was the start of an extremely successful career, highlighted by two six-times-platinum records (1994’s Not a Moment Too Soon and 2000’s Greatest Hits), three Grammy Awards, 11 CMA Awards and more than 42 million albums sold.
McGraw puts on a terrific show and has a huge portfolio of hits to choose from for his setlists. Fans have been eager to see his concerts since the late ’90s — especially his multiple Soul2Soul Tours with wife Faith Hill. Especially memorable, too, is his Spontaneous Combustion Tour in 1996: Future wife Hill was his opening act — and he proposed to her while on the road!
