Tim McGraw and Ne-Yo
Tim McGraw hosted an exclusive party at downtown Nashville’s One Eleven rooftop venue on Halloween night, the eve of the 46th Annual CMA Awards.
Industry and media were invited to preview songs from McGraw’s upcoming Big Machine Records album, Two Lanes of Freedom, out on Feb. 5. He unveiled his new single, “One Of Those Nights,” and invited special guest, R&B star Ne-Yo, to join him onstage.
Plaques were also presented during the event, honoring McGraw as Nielsen BDS’ most played Country artist of the past 20 years with 10 million detected spins and the most played Country artist in the history of Mediabase.
McGraw received a 2012 CMA Award for Musical Event of the Year with Kenny Chesney for the duet “Feel Like A Rock Star.” Additionally, he performed twice during the live broadcast.
