Tim McGraw and Faith Hill's Daughter Gracie Celebrates Queer Identity in Pride Month Post

Faith Hill is staying connected to her country music community.

The "This Kiss" singer made her first public appearance in months for CMA Fest 2025 in Nashville June 6, where she mingled with some of the genre's biggest stars like Kelsea Ballerini, Jelly RollShaboozey and Rita Wilson. For the outing, Faith donned salmon pants, a quilted black leather jacket, a Bruce Springsteen T-shirt and a tan cowboy hat.

The 57-year-old was photographed laughing and posing backstage with Jelly Roll, who appeared to take off his black baseball hat in deference as he greeted her. At one point in their conversation, the duo was joined by Shaboozey.

Elsewhere backstage, Faith shared an intimate moment with Kelsea, with the two country singers wrapping their arms around one another as they locked in for a chat. 

The "Breathe" singer was also joined by her daughter Audrey McGraw, 23, who she shares with husband Tim McGraw, as she hung out with Rita at the event. She also shares Gracie McGraw, 28, and Maggie McGraw, 26, with Tim.

While Faith has spent most of the year out of the public eye, she stepped out to support Gracie’s performance of The Great War & The Great Gatsby at New York City’s Carnegie Hall in April.

And it was just days ago that Gracie shared a message about her queer identity in celebration of Pride Month.

The Grammy winner's oldest daughter took to her Instagram Stories June 2 to share a graphic that read “EVERYONE GET MORE GAY NOW!” alongside which she wrote, “HAPPY FREAKING PRIDE. I love being queer.”

After her post made headlines, Gracie posted another slide onto her Stories clarifying that she'd been living as "an out-and-proud queer, bisexual woman and wouldn’t have it other way."

"I have and always will be very vocal about my support of LGBTQIA+ rights,” she added, “and the community.”

While neither Faith nor Tim has public reacted to Gracie's posts, the "Live Like You Were Dying" singer has long been open about his love for his three daughters and had previously discussed what it was like raising a family in a household “full of estrogen."

"Having a house full of women—and being the kind of guy’s guy that I am, up to doing the things I like to do—sometimes I think myself more macho than I am for sure,” Tim told Leo in 2021. “But they have made me such a better man. They made me see things in a different way. They taught me so much more about life, about how to be a man.”
