Trace Adkins vs. Tim McGraw – The Showdown

One more win and Trace Adkins' new song 'Watch the World End' will join a select group of songs in the Showdown Hall of Fame. His fans have stepped up on four occasions to topple hit songs from Miranda Lambert, Taylor Swift and more. They'll need one more surge to beat today's challenger. 

Tim McGraw's new single from 'Two Lanes of Freedom' is 'Southern Girl.' The groovy ode to ladies born south of Ohio is a fan-favorite from the album. These two country music titans will clash today and through the weekend in this song battle. If Adkins wins, two new challengers will face off on Monday.

Showdown Rules: The song with the most votes wins, and the winner goes on to face a new challenger in the next Showdown. Vote as much as once per hour online. If a song wins five Showdowns in a row, it will be retired into the Taste of Country Showdown Hall of Fame to allow for new songs to compete. Some songs will be considered for a second Showdown if voter turnout is healthy in a losing effort.
