Fans React to Tim McGraw’s Priceless Memory with Kenny Chesney

Country music fans were treated to a heartwarming memory from Tim McGraw, shared on his social media on Friday, August 9.

The “Something Like That” singer recounted a cherished moment with his friend and fellow country star Kenny Chesney. McGraw said that both of them still laugh about it years later.

In a video posted on Instagram, McGraw reacted to a series of clips showing Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson being a cooperative father as his young daughters painted his head, applied makeup to his face, and adorned him with pink tutus. McGraw chuckled, nodding, and noted, “I’ve been there. I’ve done all of that.”

After the short montage of Johnson and his daughters ended, the “Live Like You Were Dying” singer said he could “sympathize and empathize with him,” adding that he had “the same memories with my three daughters.”

The father of three then recounted a time when Chesney was at the McGraw family home. The country hitmakers were by the pool when McGraw’s oldest daughter Gracie, now 27, “decided she wanted to paint our toenails.”

“So we’re laying in the sun out there, hanging out with the girls, and Gracie paints our toenails pink,” McGraw recalled. “And then the next week, we had the Academy of Country Music Awards out in L.A., and I was wise enough to remove the paint on my toenails.”

Chesney, however, forgot to do the same and remembered Gracie’s paint job while sitting outside a hotel pool in Los Angeles, Calif.

“Kenny comes down to the pool, takes his tennis shoes off, and sits down beside me. And he had forgotten that his toenails were painted pink. So I’m sitting there, and Kenny is looking down and said, ‘Oh, god, I forgot to remove the toenail polish that Gracie put on my toes.’

Years later, both McGraw and Chesney still find the memory amusing.

“We still laugh about it to this day that Kenny did the whole Academy of Country Music Awards with pink toenails,” McGraw said.

The Academy of Country Music Awards’ official Instagram account commented, “AHHH 🤣 he rocked those pink nails though 💅🏼.”

Fans were similarly charmed by the sweet memory in the post’s comment section.

“Love this so much 💗,” one person wrote, while another echoed the sentiment, writing, “I ❤️ that story!”

“That’s priceless!😂,” one fan laughed, while another declared, “Those are memories that will last for a lifetime 🙌😂.”

“Great story!! Love McGraw & Chesney ❤️🙌🎶,” one Instagram user wrote.

“What an awesome uncle Kenny!” another fan praised.
