CURRENT SINGLE: “7500 OBO”
Tim McGraw has a milestone birthday coming up on Sunday, May 1. He’ll turn 55, but don’t expect him to mark the occasion in any big way, or spend a whole lot of time reflecting on where he’s at in life or what he’s achieved up to this point. “You know, oddly enough, I’m not one of these people that look back very often,” admits Tim. “I’m always looking forward tryin’ to figure out how to improve myself and get better.”
While 55 might seem like a good age to stop and reflect, Tim says, “Even turning 55, I still feel like I’ve got a lot more to offer, still feel like I’ve got a lot more to learn about music and acting and fatherhood and bein’ a husband and bein’ a good person. And I think it’s more about looking forward. You know, one of these days, hopefully, I’ll sit in my chair and kick back and look back at my life.”
For now, the only lives Tim is interested in reflecting on and celebrating are his three daughters’. “I have a 25-year-old, a 23-year-old and a 20-year-old,” says Tim. “I’m enjoying sittin’ back and watchin’ their lives progress.”
As far as a birthday celebration, Tim reveals, “I’m not a big birthday celebrator. In fact, our whole family, we’re not big birthday celebrators. I mean, we have parties and stuff like that every now and then for big ones, but we’re not big birthday celebrators, and I don’t have anything planned.”
Perhaps his wife, Faith Hill, will cook Tim his favorite meal for his birthday, which would fit right into his ideal plan. Tim laughs and says, “To me, a perfect night on my 55th birthday would be to hang with my wife on the couch and watch a great movie.”

And also having kids – you know, I have a 25-year-old, a 23-year-old and a 20-year-old – I’m enjoying sittin’ back and watchin’ their lives progress.”
