    Tim McGraw and Faith Hill Shocked 17,000 Fans by Opening Their Tour with an ’80s Soul Hit Instead of a Country Classic

    When Tim McGraw and Faith Hill stepped into the spotlight at the Smoothie King Center to launch their long-awaited Soul2Soul Tour 2017, they didn’t bother with a warm-up. They came out swinging, opening with a fiery rendition of “I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me),” setting the tone for a night filled with intensity, emotion, and unmistakable chemistry.

    The duet, originally a Grammy-winning hit by Aretha Franklin and George Michael, might not be the obvious choice for a country tour opener. But in the hands of McGraw and Hill, it transformed into a bold, soulful declaration. With a powerhouse 12-piece band behind them and a stage glowing in shades of red and gold, the performance instantly reminded the audience why this pair remains one of music’s most magnetic collaborations.

    As soon as the first notes rang out, over 17,000 fans jumped to their feet. Hill’s voice, clear and soaring, led with conviction, while McGraw’s rugged Southern tone grounded the performance. The contrast—her gospel-inspired flair against his gritty country style—gave the song a fresh emotional edge, breathing new life into the familiar track.

    But this wasn’t about flashy vocal displays. It was about connection. The two artists moved slowly toward one another, eyes locked, harmonizing like they were telling their own story through the lyrics. The crowd responded in kind—cheering, clapping, and even tearing up—as the married duo, together since 1996, stood center stage, singing not just together but truly for one another.

    The setup was minimal but powerful. No fireworks. No backup dancers. Just two spotlights, two microphones, and the kind of raw connection that can’t be choreographed. Starting the show with a cover instead of a well-known hit made one thing clear: this wasn’t going to be a greatest-hits routine. This was something deeper.

    “I Knew You Were Waiting” wasn’t just a song choice—it was a mission statement. It set the stage for a concert that felt more like a celebration of love, endurance, and partnership. After years of touring separately and together, and nearly two decades of marriage, McGraw and Hill weren’t just performing—they were reaffirming something.

    And when the final chorus faded and they stood in silhouette, backs to the crowd, hands gently meeting, it was clear: Soul2Soul wasn’t simply about the music. It was about inviting fans into a relationship that’s stood the test of time—a love story still unfolding.

    In an industry full of fleeting fame and manufactured moments, McGraw and Hill kicked off their 2017 tour with something real: soul, authenticity, and a duet that said more than any headline ever could.
