Tim McGraw Debuts New Video Starring Daughter Audrey

Tim McGraw just debuted the video for his latest single “7500 OBO,” and it’s a family affair with his 19-year-old daughter Audrey starring in the clip.

The song follows a man trying to sell his truck because it reminds him of a lost love, but the clip follows Audrey as a teen heartbroken over a love that moves away. The video even involves a kissing scene for Audrey, which wasn’t easy on her dad.

“I’m not calling that a make out scene. That’s just a nice little peck on the cheek after a date,” Tim shared. “I tried to yell ‘cut’ but I didn’t get there quick enough. I’m not gonna beat him up. I guess I’ll let him slide on this one. It’s not easy for a dad to watch.” Check out the video below.

First concerts are always special, but thanks to Garth Brooks two young girls had a first concert they will never forget.

At Garth’s Stadium concert in Kansas City, Missouri this past weekend there were two young girls right down in front, thanks to a ticket upgrade. One of the girls was on her dad’s shoulder holding a sign that read “Garth … it’s our 1st concert,” and the singer took notice.

After finding out the girls names began with the letter G, Garth joked, “what has a ’G’ on it that I’m thinking of?,” and then took off his acoustic guitar with a huge “G” on it, signed it and gave it to the family. You can check out the moment here.
