The first time I talked to Tim McGraw I have to admit I was a little starstruck.  He is what we call an "A" lister in the country music business.  So it is hard to imagine someone like Tim fan boying out.  Tim McGraw admits being super starstruck around this star.

Tim says he was starstruck when he saw Harrison Ford at a breakfast for the cast of the "Yellowstone" shows.  Whiskey Riff quotes him as saying "We were having breakfast at the hotel there one morning and Harrison Ford walked in ...my daughter said 'Dad go, you need to go over there and say hi' and I was like, I can't...I can't do it".  That is adorable.  Tim has a new song out called "Standing Room Only".

I was too star struck to approach one star in my life and that was Reba .  We were in Las Vegas for the ACM awards for work and she was making her rounds around the room but did not stop where we were.  Tanner's wife Missy went over to her and asked her if it would be ok if I approached her.  I timidly made my way over and got my picture.  Not sure what I said.  I am sure it was unimpressive.
