After months of waiting for the naming of the performer for the XLV Countdown: Live From Cowboys Stadium, the announcement was just made. It’s going to be Tim McGraw (pictured).
It had been a secret with little hints given at the Sting concert that the final performer would be a multi-Grammy winner who had sold more than 40 million units. McGraw made the announcement today to a sold-out audience at Dallas’ Superpages.com Center, formerly known as Smirnoff Music Centre.
The Sept. 10 concert will also feature Fort Worth’s Van Cliburn with a historic tribute to the Dallas Cowboys’ 50th anniversary and a celebration of the career of newly-minted Pro Football Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith.
Interestingly, McGraw’s wife, Faith Hill, kicked off the three-concert series at Bass Hall back in the spring.
