Audrey McGraw, Daughter of Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, Makes Her Musical Debut With “I Am…I Said”
|On May 16, Audrey McGraw—the youngest daughter of country music royalty Tim McGraw and Faith Hill—released her highly anticipated debut single, a stirring cover of Neil Diamond’s “I Am…I Said.” With this release, Audrey steps into the spotlight and carves out her own identity in the music world.
A Legacy of Talent in the McGraw Family
Audrey, 23, has long teased her musical abilities online, sharing clips of herself singing and playing piano to the delight of fans. Now, her first official single reveals a voice that is rich, soulful, and unmistakably her own.
She follows in the creative footsteps of her older sisters. Gracie McGraw, 28, made her musical debut on her father’s 2015 album Damn Country Music, and is currently pursuing her Broadway dreams in New York. She recently performed at Carnegie Hall in a special PBS production tied to The Great War & The Great Gatsby. Tim McGraw beamed with pride in a social media tribute, writing:
“It was a beautifully done performance by all… Of course our Gracie was fantastic!!!!!!”
Their middle sister, Maggie McGraw, 26, is not pursuing a music career but has displayed vocal talent in the past, including during family karaoke sessions that fans look forward to every holiday season.
Audrey’s Debut Single: A Personal and Powerful Statement
Audrey announced the release of her debut single on May 12, sharing her connection to Neil Diamond’s lyrics:
“The first time I heard this song, I felt something deep in my soul. One late night, sitting at the piano, I made it a part of me. In the studio we brought it to life.”
To personalize the iconic track, Audrey changed the lyrics in the second verse from “Well I’m New York City born and raised” to “Well I’m Nashville born and raised”—a nod to her country roots and upbringing in Music City.
The single’s cover art is a nostalgic photo of Audrey as a child, adding even more sentiment to an already intimate debut. Her haunting lower register and emotional delivery have already captured listeners’ attention, proving she’s not just following a legacy—she’s creating one of her own.
Song:
A New Chapter Begins
Audrey’s debut single is more than just a song—it’s a powerful statement of independence and artistry. Rather than relying on her famous parents’ connections, Audrey is building her music career from the ground up, bringing authenticity and heart into every note.
If “I Am…I Said” is any indication of what’s to come, Audrey McGraw is set to leave a lasting mark on the music industry, much like her iconic parents before her.
