Tim McGraw was in for a sweet surprise on his 55th birthday Sunday, thanks to his wife Faith Hill!
While Tim was warming up for a show, Hill snuck in behind him with a cake and a whole crew to join her in a round of “Happy Birthday.”
The country star shared the heartwarming birthday surprise video on Instagram.
The night before McGraw’s birthday, tourmate Russel Dickerson got the crowd to sing him “Happy Birthday.”

During his headlining performance at Stagecoach Festival in California on Friday night (April 29) Thomas Rhett was joined onstage by an extra special guest: his longtime pal Ashton Kutcher.
Accompanied by fellow musician HARDY, the trio performed a rocking rendition of Garth Brooks’ 1990 hit “Friends In Low Places.”
Ashton dressed the part wearing a white cowboy hat, red bandana, and a gray t-shirt that reads, “Support your local farmer.”
Ashton and his wife Mila Kunis are longtime country music fans and have attended Stagecoach several times

Fresh off rocking Stagecoach over the weekend, Maren Morris shared a couple of tweets on Sunday night talking about chasing her dreams!
“Gonna send an audition tape in for Wicked on Broadway. What the hell. Let’s see what happens. 💚 🧙🏼‍♀️,” she began.
“I’ve hosted @JimmyKimmelLive , I’ve sung with @DollyParton , flown with the @AFThunderbirds , hell, I’ve cut bangs… I’m into taking things head on, fail or succeed. Might as well cut the shit on being coy. Chase your weird dreams down.

The country music world was rocked when the news hit that country icon Naomi Judd died.
According to a statement released by her daughters, they lost their mother to “the disease of mental illness,” however no other details have been provided.
Social media was flooded with tributes from her country peers.
“Country music lost a true legend,” Carrie Underwood tweeted. “Sing with the angels Naomi!!! We’re all sending up prayers for the Judd family today…”

“We’ve been down the long road together. I sure miss my buddy,” Reba McEntire wrote, in a tribute that touched on the fact that life wasn’t always easy for Judd. “Rest in Peace. Finally. Love you, Naomi.”

“Naomi Judd, like “Grandpa,” told me about,
the good old days in country music and living…
She was a beacon of glamour, fun and keeping it real.
And now…
She’s in heaven AND the Country Music Hall of Fame! Thanks for showing a Kentucky girl how to make dreams come true. 🕊♥️, Carly Pearce wrote on Instagram.
