Tim McGraw’s Daughter Slams Tabloids In 'Proud Queer' Declaration

Gracie McGraw, daughter of country music icons Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, is shutting down tabloid headlines and reclaiming her narrative with a powerful declaration.

During Pride Month, the rising performer took to social media to proudly identify as queer, a message aimed directly at misleading tabloid headlines and speculation about her personal life.

Instead of staying silent, Gracie made it clear that her identity isn’t new, just misunderstood, and she’s no longer letting the media twist her story.

On Tuesday, June 3, Tim McGraw’s daughter took to her Instagram stories to make it clear that she has been openly queer for a long time.

The singer bashed tabloids who used the celebratory Pride Month post she made the previous day as “clickbait,” making it seem like she just came out.

“Hello all!!! It has come to my attention that some tabloids have taken an Instagram story I posted yesterday and have used it as clickbait, saying, ‘I’ve come out,’” Gracie began.

She clarified that she has been a “proud queer, bisexual woman” for a while and wouldn’t change it for anything.

“I have and will always be very vocal about my support of LGBTQIA+ rights and community, but thank you so much to these tabloids for shedding light that it’s pride month!!” she continued.

Gracie went on to show support to LGBTQIA+ community members who didn’t have the love and understanding from their families.

“Just know that there is a beautiful community out there that loves you and cares about and for you!!” she finished.

In a follow-up post, Gracie shared a graphic that repeatedly stated, “Pride began as a riot led by Black & Brown trans activities.”

She also captioned the image, “While you’re here, let’s not forget how pride began.”

The previous day, the 28-year-old celebrated Pride Month, which kicked off on June 1.

She shared a post from another user on her Instagram story that read, “Everyone get more gay now,” with several exclamation marks.

Below the post, she added, “Happy Freaking Pride. I love being queer.”

While Tim and his wife have yet to openly comment on their daughter’s sexuality, the love they have for her is undeniable.

On May 5, Gracie clocked 28, and the country singer marked the occasion with a celebratory post on Instagram.

He shared a black and white throwback picture of himself and Gracie. The snap showed a younger Tim wearing a cap and carrying little Gracie on his shoulder.

“Can’t believe this little bit turns 28 today! Happy birthday to our Gracie! You are a light in this world my sweet girl,” he wrote.

The “I Like It, I Love It” singer also described his daughter as someone with “so much heart, soul, respect and yes LOADS of talent!!” He made sure to let Gracie know she was loved beyond measure.

Tim also showed support for his daughter when he and Hill were present in the audience for Gracie's first of two performances in “The Great War & The Great Gatsby” in April 2025.

A source told PEOPLE Magazine that the doting parents were among those who gave Gracie a standing ovation. According to them, Hill even wiped away tears at one point.

Five years prior, Tim McGraw gushed to PEOPLE about how proud he was of his daughter.

“Gracie, our oldest daughter, is an actress in L.A., and she makes me proud every day because she’s such a strong, independent young lady who speaks her mind. And she makes me proud every day of the way she lives her life,” he said.

Gracie is forever grateful to her parents, who have always been supportive, especially during difficult times.

The Nashville native has been struggling with PCOS, and in 2022, she revealed she was prescribed Ozempic, a diabetes drug.

In an Instagram post, Gracie said she had gotten four out of the five major symptoms of the hormonal condition, whereas only two were needed for a correct diagnosis.

“I was prescribed Qsymia and Ozempic (Ozempic is also given to patients who have diabetes, I am not diabetic, So I do not know how it works in that regard),” she shared per The Blast.

Gracie received a lot of backlash from fans for using the drug. However, she fired back, noting that she didn’t jump on Ozempic for weight loss. Instead, it was necessary to help treat her PCOS.
