When you think Tim McGraw, you probably think Taylor Swift too.

Swift sang the first half of the love song with Hill, before introducing "the actual Tim McGraw" to finish it off in front of the sold out crowd.
Swift first wrote the song in high school, and since then has performed other material with McGraw and Hill over the years as her career has taken off. She even opened for the couple on tour in 2007, which made this Nashville moment a special one.
The significance of it all sunk in with fans during and after the show, and many tweeted excitedly about the performance.
In 2006, A 16 y.o girl named Taylor Swift, wishing to be a big artist, released her debut single named "Tim McGraw".
And Today After 12 years, THAT SAME GIRL sang THAT SONG with THE PERSON whom she named the song after, Tim McGraw... for the first time!

there was once a very brave girl who went up to Tim Mcgraw and introduced herself, her name was Taylor Swift. She then went to be the opening act of Tim and his wife, Faith Hill. In 2018, Tim and Faith are guests at Taylor’s show, in her stadium tour. Y’all mind if I cry? pic.twitter.com/BdmpAdPNQI
