May 16, 2007 — At the ACM awards last night, Taylor Swift finally got to meet the inspiration for her debut hit single, "Tim McGraw." While singing the song, Taylor walked into the audience, stopping in front of Tim, and at the end of the song, extended her hand and said, "Hi, I'm Taylor."
Taylor has also gotten her wish to open a series of dates on the Tim and Faith Hill's Soul2Soul Tour 2007 this summer. She told Dial-Global about hitting him up for a spot on the show during a phone conversation the two had earlier this year. As it turns out, Taylor is learning that it never hurts to ask.
"I asked him, 'How come you don't take opening acts out on the Soul2Soul tour?' And he goes, 'Why? Do you have someone in mind?' I go, 'Yeah, I do. She sings a song with your name as the title.' I was like, 'I'd love to be on tour with you if you have any extra time before your show.' I definitely was a little bit outgoing in that sense."
Look for more information on specific dates and cities where Taylor will be on the "Soul2Soul 2007" bill in the coming weeks.
