March 13, 2009 — During the fall campaign season, Tim McGraw was tossed up as a potential candidate for Tennessee Governor in 2010. He has some interest in the topic, but if he runs for office, it won’t be that soon.
"I grew up in Louisiana, so anybody who knows anything about Louisiana knows that [politics is] kind of a pasttime in Louisiana," he told the national radio show GAC Nights: Live From Nashville. "I grew up in high school and college being very interested in it. It’s a noble calling to be a politician, a public servant — I mean, there are people who do good jobs and people who don’t do such good jobs. But that’d be something I’d be interested in way down the road. I’ve got a lot more time in my career, I think, before I can think about that, and plus I want the kids to be grown before that ever happens."
Tim’s one-half of one of America’s favorite celebrity couples — you’ve heard of Faith Hill, right? Now a singer-songwriter that authored one of Tim’s ballads has his own celebrity marriage. Americana/rock artist Ryan Adams, who wrote "When The Stars Go Blue," tied the knot with pop singer-songwriter Mandy Moore in Savannah, Ga., this week. No gubernatorial aspirations have been mentioned.
