Faith Hill and Tim McGraw are incredibly proud of their offspring, Gracie McGraw, who has taken on the entertainment world on both coasts.
The actress shares vibrant photos of her active social life, from the family-friendly—such as the renaissance fair—to house parties with her hoard of GenZ friends. However, mostly she can be found performing with pals and goofing around with her mixed poodle, Baz.
Gracie McGraw Veered off Only Slightly from Her Parents' Path
Gracie came into the world singing on May 5, 1997, to country royalty parents Hill and Tim. Over the next few years, she became the big sister to Maggie, born on August 12, 1998, and Audrey, born on December 6, 2001.
After getting her degree from New York University, she headed to Los Angeles to become an actor. She portrayed Tanya on 18 episodes of Tyler Perry's romantic drama, "If Loving You Is Wrong," in the show's final three seasons between 2018 and 2020.
The Taurus moved back to the East Coast in 2021 to utilize her incredible singing voice to its full potential on Broadway. Her rendition of "I'm Not That Girl" from the musical "Wicked" got a lot of attention on social media in June 2022, including a shout-out from Rita Wilson.

The McGraws are a playful and close-knit family. Three days before Christmas, the clan had an icon theme dinner, where Tim dressed up as Elton John, Audrey McGraw as Cher, and Gracie as a dead ringer for David Bowie.
The Broadway hopeful has been in the spotlight since her teens...
In October, she accompanied Faith Hill to bake with Ina Garten on her show "Be My Guest." Gracie said it was "truly the greatest day" of her life to be in the kitchen with the beloved culinary TV personality, where they baked a McGraw/Hill family staple, a Coca-Cola cake.
Gracie Performed Taylor Swift's Song on Broadway
The singer got a bite of Broadway during the benefit concert, "Broadway Sings Taylor Swift," at Sony Hall in June 2022. She performed "You Belong With Me," opening her set dryly, asking, "Have you guys ever liked someone, and they didn't like you back?"
With the ease of a seasoned performer, the 24-year-old waited for a beat for the audience's laughter and continued, "Same." Now that she had the crowd, including her parents, all warmed up, she packed octaves of depth into the pop track. Click here to listen to Gracie's entire performance.
She lent her talent to another good cause, "She Rocks honoring Dianne Warwick," in October 2022.

Gracie Frequently Sings with Tim McGraw and Even Performed on Stage with Him
The Broadway hopeful has been in the spotlight since her teens when she jumped on Tim McGraw's track "Here Tonight" in 2015. She did a surprise cameo performance with dad during the Nashville, Tennessee stop of his "Shotgun Rider" tour.
The then-18-year-old looked very comfortable performing in front of a packed audience at the Bridgestone Arena, which has a capacity of over 19,000, on August 15, 2015. Hill also made an appearance on this tour in another city.
The father and daughter duo recreated the magic with a "Carpool Karaoke"-style performance of Barbra Streisand and Barry Gibb's "What Kind of Fool." The country crooner uploaded the clip on Insta with the hashtag, "chase your dreams, girl."
Tim once shared an anecdote about Gracie's first date. He was not there to meet the young man when he took Gracie out, so the dad invited him back the next day for a chat. He forgot about the appointment and awkwardly opened the door holding a knife and covered in blood from his preparations for a BBQ.
