Tim McGraw, Tyler Hubbard To Perform New Single On Tonight's 'Celebrating America' Special

Tim McGraw and Tyler Hubbard have signed on to participate in tonight's (Wednesday, Jan. 20th) primetime TV special, Celebrating America, airing across all major networks after the day's inauguration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. They will perform their new single, "Undivided," during the event, which also features appearances by Jon Bon Jovi, Demi Lovato, Justin Timberlake, John Legend, and Bruce Springsteen, among others.

 

Tyler and Tim tell us that the invitation to perform came very recently.

 

“Yeah, we got a call just a few days ago and got invited to play the song at the inauguration, and I think Tim and I both were extremely excited and humbled.  What a crazy cool opportunity – as simple as just to get to play music again, which is exciting in itself, but then to get to spread and share this message of hope and love and unity to the world.  What better platform to get to do that on, so we’re both extremely excited. (Tim) Very excited, and also, the background of what we’re gonna be shooting is gonna be Nashville.  So, to showcase our city and all that it’s gone through in the last year is a big deal for us.”

 

People.com reports that Black Pumas will also perform while Luis Fonsi and Ozuna will appear as part of a special edition of DJ Cassidy's Pass the Mic.

 

Celebrating America will air on ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC and NBC as well as online via Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and others beginning at 8:30 p.m. ET.
