Country music icon Tim McGraw is the proud father of three daughters, and his oldest girl Gracie McGraw is about to make her off-Broadway debut.
Gracie McGraw Takes The Lead
Tim recently took to social media to share that his oldest daughter, Gracie McGraw, is about to make her off-Broadway debut.
Specifically, she is going to be performing in the show Babe, alongside longtime actors Arliss Howard and Marisa Tomei. The first show will be October 29, with performances continuing throughout the rest of the year.
Tim posted her casting announcement on Instagram and penned a sweet message, encouraging his fans to go out and support her role. “Check out our daughter Gracie in her debut!!! We are so proud of her,” he wrote.
This isn’t her first time on stage. Not only has she performed in front of thousands at one of her dad’s concerts, but she’s been working in musical theatre for a while. She had a starring role in the play The Death of Desert Rose just a few months ago.
Tim Saw It Coming
It’s normal for a parent to believe that their child can accomplish the goals they have for themself, and that’s exactly what Tim did with Gracie. In fact, McGraw predicted her Broadway debut.

“Gracie, the oldest, she’s here in New York City. She’s looking for her first big break on Broadway, which is going to happen soon, I’m sure,” he once said in an interview.
He made that comment less than two years ago and it has already paid off. It’s also important to note that neither Tim nor his wife Faith Hill have ever dabbled in musical theatre.
So, while it seems like Gracie has gotten the music gene from her parents, she is clearly carving her own name in the industry.
Being Open And Honest
Despite her success, it hasn’t been the easiest journey for Gracie. She’s been vulnerable about her mental health struggles and how she’s been getting through them.
“I have really bad ADHD and in turn, anxiety and depression,” she once revealed. “I recently got on medication again for ADHD, and all the stuff that I’ve been teaching myself the past few years-having the dog and needing to be clean and organized and putting stuff in it’s place-has kept me steady.”
The rising performer has also shared that she took the Ozempic drug for weight loss but says that she no longer takes it.
Her dad Tim has also been open and honest about his mental health battles and credits his wife Faith for maintaining his sobriety.
