Tim McGraw's Management Team Pranked Him + It Was Way Too Good

It was a few weeks early for an April Fool's Day joke, but Tim McGraw's own personal management team pulled an epic prank on the superstar which could go down in pranking history.

According to Country Now, a few weeks before he got inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, or even was aware that he was, McGraw was with wife, Faith Hill in New York City when the phone call from his management team popped up on his phone.

The "Something Like That" singer said that "they told me that they needed a conference call about my tour. And of course, in my negative thinking way, the only thing I could think of was, ‘Well, the tour sales aren’t going very well, so they’re going to tell me I’m going to have to cancel some shows.'"

Why Were Tim McGraw and Faith Hill in New York City Recently?

The country music power-couple were taking some time to be just parents as they were following around their daughter, Gracie as she played some shows in the big apple.

The two were likely next to one another when McGraw got the call from management and it would be a safe assumption that he turned to Hill in that moment and shared his concern with her as well.

But McGraw's guess couldn't have been farther from the truth. His management team wanted him to sweat a little and also needed a reason to get the icon on the phone in that moment, so they did a great job masking the true identity of the call.

He admitted to Country Now that things felt even more weird when The Country Music Association CEO Sarah Trahern joined the call.

"And then Sarah got on the phone and I’m like, ‘Well, what’s Sarah Trahern doing on a call about my tour?’ And then my first thought was, ‘Oh, they’re going to want me to do a charity concert or a benefit concert for the Hall of Fame,’ which I would be happy to do. And then they told me what was going on and I had them stop and repeat."

It shows how "Humble and Kind" McGraw truly is that after all he has accomplished, he had zero idea that he was a blip on the Country Music Hall of Fame's radar...but as we all know now, he sure was.

McGraw notes that he still in the moment had a hard time understanding what was happening, so his crew finally pulled back the curtain and said "'Tim, you’re going into the Hall of Fame.’"

"And I just sort of fell apart. I just couldn’t believe it," he continues. "I was walking around New York City with my earphones in talking to them. I had no idea. I was dreading the call actually because I thought something was bad news."
