Tim McGraw decided to make his voice heard in music and the political sphere.
The country star boldly endorsed a candidate during the presidential election between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.
While McGraw, his wife, Faith Hill, and their daughters are known to speak their minds on matters important to them or society, it was the first time the country legend openly meddled deeply into politics.
In a birthday message for Faith Hill, the loving husband made it clear that he was backing Vice President Kamala Harris because she talked about the fight for women’s rights during her short-lived campaign.
He wrote in part: “Our girls could not have a better role model in their lives as how to be a powerful woman. And how to believe in themselves and be in charge of their lives (every aspect of their lives)! Let’s honor the women in our lives with respect and ensure we fight for their rights alongside them!”
The message went viral and appeared to impact his lustrous career, with some fans expressing disappointment and others applauding his stance. While this public endorsement may have cost him some supporters, it also solidified his position as a celebrity activist.
It is now clear that Tim McGraw’s foray into politics was not a one-time event but rather a continuing journey, with him keeping his fans and the public informed about his evolving political stance.
On Election Day, he issued a brief message encouraging Americans to get out and vote.
The election is over, and Donald Trump was declared the winner. Kamala Harris gave her concession speech, and a smiling and jolly President Joe Biden held a meeting in the White House to ensure a smooth and peaceful transition of power.
Tim McGraw is still very much political on social media, but he does it in a more diplomatic, old-school, or old-fashioned way.
He recently shared a photo that featured an interesting choice of song, “Humble and Kind.”
“Humble and Kind” features lyrics that encourage people to act right, have manners, and not dismiss others — in a nutshell, accept the outcome and be civil with each other for the sake of humanity and this great nation.
This song resonated with many in the post-election climate with its powerful message of respect and acceptance.
The comment section lit up, with many saying that post-election, it is indeed the right song with the correct message about respecting each other.
One person revealed: “Absolutely beautiful. It’s a message and a song we’ll especially need these next four years.”
A neutral voice advocated for compassion by pleading: “Unfortunately, half of our country has put limitations on their definition of kindness. May we learn and grow into a more compassionate and loving society?”
Meanwhile, a Trump supporter chimed in to throw Joe Biden and the Democrats under the bus by writing: “I’m so glad we will have a brain back in the White House! It is going to be an amazing four years! We, the people, are so excited!”
The drama came quickly, as a fan slammed the artist for being a woke celebrity by writing a scathing comment that reads: “On the side of righteousness?😂 No, he, as a good woke celebrity, is on the side of hatred and nonsense!🤗”
This sparked a heated debate in the comment section, with some defending McGraw’s stance and others echoing the fan’s sentiments. Some also brought up racism and sexism in the conversation.
