Tim McGraw spotlighted his family when he took the stage at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Festival presented by Capital One on Saturday night (September 20).

McGraw, 58, paid tribute to his wife, fellow country icon Faith Hill, who turns 58 on Sunday (September 21), and shared the stage with his nephew, rising country artist Timothy Wayne. Wayne joined his uncle on a collaborative rendition of “Paper Umbrellas,” which appeared on McGraw’s Standing Room Only record in 2023 (he later released a version of the ballad with Texas-born country star Parker McCollum). McGraw also performed “One Bad Habit,” one of six tracks on his Poet’s Resumé EP months after Standing Room Only’s debut, and dedicated it to Hill. The Louisiana-born country megastar introduced himself to the T-Mobile Arena audience, but said “it’s OK, you can call me Faith’s husband. I like that better.”

McGraw brought festival goers on a decades-spanning journey throughout his career, playing “Real Good Man,” “Something Like That,” and heartfelt ballads “Call Me Thankful” and “King Rodeo.” He noted in an interview with Ryan Seacrest before taking the stage that he’s performing again after undergoing seven surgeries in recent years. that includes four back surgeries and double knee replacements, “but I’m back,” he said with a smile.

The star-studded, genre-spanning event returned on Friday night (September 19) and Saturday night to T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The lineup of the 2025 show included McGraw, plus Jelly Roll, BigXthaPlug, Bryan Adams, Ed Sheeran, Diplo, GloRilla, John Fogerty, Justice, LL COOL J, Mariah Carey, Maroon 5, Sammy Hagar, Tate McRae, The Offspring, and Bailey Zimmerman.
