SUPERMOM

"The Blair Garner Show" host started by referring to moms as "the anchor that we reach out to find our footing…" He went on to give an overview of McGraw's song, saying that the singer's relationship with his mother was pretty much the subject of the track. He asked Tim:

"Was there ever a moment where you were like… 'mom, I didn't know how strong you were...until now'"

SOME CHILDHOOD MEMORIES

"I Called Mama" is McGraw's tribute to his mother for seeing him through even when she was going through personal struggles and trying to make ends meet. The "Flicka" actor recalled some memories which he said were etched in his mind as he grew older.

His mom celebrated her 72nd birthday in March.

McGraw shared that his mom longed for him to go to college as her education was cut short after she got pregnant with her first child. After he informed the matriarch that he wanted to pursue music, she had been in full support, despite her initial desire for college.

CHILDHOOD INFLUENCE ON TIM

Tom made it known to Blair Garner that as a child, he interfered a few times when his mom was getting abused physically, and that earned him some beatings as well.

Now that he is a family man, Tim affirmed that his turbulent childhood gears him to become a good father and husband. He said: "It was certainly not the way that I wanted to raise my family…"

QUARANTINE IN THE MCGRAW HOME

As the country vocalist keeps working on his upcoming album, "Here On Earth," quarantining with his family has been lovely.

He shared that he and his loved ones were getting along fine and relishing family moments and having fun cooking together.

The McGraw family has had some celebrations in the lockdown as Tim became a year older earlier in the month.

His mom celebrated her 72nd birthday in March while the "It's Your Love" crooner's oldest daughter became 23, this month.
