Tim McGraw celebrates number one hit Highway Don’t Care

Award-winning singer Tim McGraw celebrated his latest number one song in Nashville with friends, industry and press. Highway Don’t Care, featuring Taylor Swift and Keith Urban on guitar, is McGraw’s 34th number one song and second number one from his Big Machine Records debut, TWO LANES OF FREEDOM. Songwriters who celebrated with McGraw included Brett Warren, Brad Warren and Mark Irwin, Big Machine’s Scott Borchetta and Keith Urban. During the party, a video was played for the crowd that offers a look at the evolution of the song, from an idea in the writer’s room to finding its place as one of the most important songs of the year. Interviews from the songwriters (including Josh Kear who was out of the country and unable to attend the festivities), Urban, Taylor Swift as well as industry leaders like Lon Helton were included. Helton commented that McGraw “continues to deliver songs to country radio that are really more than number ones, they’re game changers. They move the needle.”
