Tim McGraw Plays ‘Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction?’
Tim McGraw is one of the most successful musicians of his generation, but the country superstar had to drop out of a singing group in college because he just couldn't pass a music theory course.
That's just one thing we learned when McGraw sat down with Taste of Country's Billy Dukes to clarify some of the entries on his Wikipedia page. Like most, there's some fact, some sort-of fact and some outright fabrications on the user-updated site.
Watch the full video above to find out how the 'Shotgun Rider' singer really paid for college, how he forced his way into his first record deal and more, then click here for details on his latest album, 'Sundown Heaven Town.' McGraw will be headlining both Country Jam Colorado and the Taste of Country Music Festival next summer.
