Tim McGraw is a huge supporter of all women, particularly the ones in his life. The “My Little Girl” crooner has three daughters with wife Faith Hill, and he frequently shares gushing social media posts about their accomplishments. So if McGraw can help a fellow “girl dad” out, he will. And that’s exactly what the Grammy winner did when he helped a Pennsylvania man surprise his daughter on her big day.

“The Surprise of a Lifetime”

Back in 2016, a bride named Lisa took the floor with her dad for the customary father-daughter dance. As they began swaying, a suspiciously clear recording of Tim McGraw’s “My Little Girl” fills the room: Gotta hold on easy as I let you go / Gonna tell you how much I love you / Though you think you already know.

Lisa’s mouth falls open in shock as the realization dawns that the real deal is singing from the stage. “My first initial reaction was, ‘Oh, is this a Tim McGraw impersonator?’” she told San Diego radio station KSON’s morning show John & Tammy in the Morning.

The father-daughter dance performance turned into a 10-song, 45-minute concert from McGraw. Newlyweds Lisa and Paul got to spend some time with him after the reception—but McGraw wasn’t spilling any of her dad’s secrets.

“We have no idea,” Lisa said of how McGraw made it to her wedding. “He is one for making big surprises happen. He pulled the surprise of a lifetime off, obviously.”

Further proving he is always there for a fellow “girl dad,” Tim McGraw later helped a dad battling cancer pay tribute to his daughters.

After a stage 4 brain cancer diagnosis, Mike Hugo shared a video on social media where he spoke about his wishes for daughters Bridget and Brooke. Hugo said he dreamed of recording a duet of “My Little Girl” with McGraw so that his daughters would have the video for their weddings.

McGraw caught wind of the video, and soon Hugo and his family were flying to Nashville to meet the 11-time CMA Award winner at the Grand Ole Opry in February 2023. That’s where his wish came true.
