Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney: Girl Dads and Country Music Royalty

Country music icon Tim McGraw shares a heartwarming anecdote about bonding with his daughter and fellow country star Kenny Chesney over a shared experience as "girl dads."

Tim McGraw, a legendary figure in country music, recently shared a heartwarming anecdote that sheds light on the special bond he shares with his daughters and the camaraderie among fellow country stars. In an interview with Fox News Digital, McGraw recalled a memorable moment with his daughter, Gracie, and country music superstar Kenny Chesney that perfectly encapsulates the joys and challenges of being a "girl dad."

McGraw's story was sparked by a video posted by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson showing him engaging in a tea party and playing dress-up with his three daughters. The video resonated with McGraw, who recalled a similar experience with Gracie and Chesney. "I had the same memories with my three daughters — tea parties, playing dress-up, getting makeup put on," McGraw explained.

One particular incident at the poolside with Chesney holds a special place in his heart. "Gracie decided she wanted to paint our toenails," McGraw said. "So, we're laying in the sun out there hanging out with the girls, and Gracie paints our toenails pink."

The following week, McGraw and Chesney attended the Academy of Country Music Awards in Los Angeles. While McGraw had the foresight to remove the nail polish, Chesney apparently forgot. "So, Kenny comes down to the pool, takes his tennis shoes off and sits down beside me. And he had forgotten that his toenails were painted pink," McGraw recounted. "We still laugh about it to this day that Kenny did the whole Academy of Country Music Awards with pink toenails."

McGraw's story underscores the close-knit nature of the country music community, where even the biggest stars share common experiences as parents. It also highlights the special role that daughters play in the lives of these famous musicians.

McGraw is no stranger to collaborating with his family. In 2020, he released the song "Here on Earth" with his wife, Faith Hill, and their daughter, Maggie. McGraw has also expressed his desire to record a song with all five of them at some point.
