Important safety tip: Do not do anything stupid or violent in the presence of Tim McGraw. If you do, there is an excellent chance he will pull you up on to the stage by your belt and shove you into the waiting arms of security.
Such an incident transpired at a recent concert. An audience member apparently struck a woman. Whether on purpose or accidental, we're not sure. What we do know is that Mr. McGraw did not like what he saw. After motioning for security, the leather-vested singer personally yanked the offending fan on to the stage and tossed him over to a collection of burly guards with a look of disdain normally reserved for stepped-in dog feces.
Video of the dustup soon hit the Web and searchers went wild. Lookups for "tim mcgraw" surged 181% and related terms like "tim mcgraw fight" and "tim mcgraw concert" spiked enormously. Newspapers, websites, and blogs picked up on the story and recapped it blow-by-blow. People magazine notes that "the man and McGraw seemed ready to get into a full-fledged fracas, with McGraw cocking his fist back as if to throw a punch." iVillage explains that after the ruckus, Tim "went right on singing." A consummate gentleman and a true professional—no wonder wife Faith Hill wants him all to herself.
