Tim McGraw is taking fans back to the ‘90s!
The country music superstar, 58, recently took to social media, giving folks a glimpse into the early days of his illustrious career. On Thursday, March 5, McGraw posted a slideshow of images and set the soundtrack to the Goo Goo Dolls’ 1998 hit smash “Iris.”
“Safe to say the ‘90s treated me pretty well!” McGraw captioned alongside the video montage, reflecting on his past successes.
The clip also included the words, “Dad, what were you like in the ‘90s?” spread across the screen, a sentence that has become a popular phrase online and is tied to a viral social media trend that has taken over the internet in recent days.
That trend finds celebrities and social media users posting throwback photos, resurfacing nostalgic moments from before the turn of the millennium.
The Images
Several of McGraw’s photos showcase him posing with a cowboy hat and a thicker mustache, but the first image grabs attention as it features the country icon shirtless while lying on his back with a pair of cowboy boots.
One image showcases McGraw and Faith Hill on their wedding day, which took place on Oct. 6, 1996. The portrait finds the celebrity power couple often regarded as country music royalty, holding hands as Hill smiles on while carrying a flower bouquet in her free hand.
McGraw and Hill, who will celebrate their 30th anniversary in 2026, share three kids. They are daughters, Audrey Caroline, Gracie, and Maggie Elizabeth.
Career Highlights
McGraw is undeniably one of the most successful country artists around, but he rose to fame and marked several personal and professional milestones in the mid-90s. He broke through in 1994 with the release of his Not a Moment Too Soon album, which followed his self-titled debut project.
He further solidified his success with early hits like “I Like It, I Love It,” “Where the Green Grass Grows,” and his duets with Hill like “It’s Your Love.” McGraw has also collected multiple major awards throughout his three-decade-long career, including three Grammy awards.
“That’s the Tim McGraw my momma raised me on,” one person commented below McGraw’s post, while another fan wrote, “Aging like fine wine!”
“Been a fan since 1991 from the very beginning,” a third person added.
