Talent runs deep in the McGraw-Hill family, and Audrey McGraw is proving it with every note she sings. The youngest daughter of country power couple Tim McGraw and Faith Hill is turning heads and melting hearts with her remarkable voice. Recently, Audrey captivated audiences with a stunning rendition of “Cucurrucucú Paloma” during a performance at London’s Green Note, leaving fans and her famous parents in awe.
Her dad, Tim, was so moved that he couldn’t help but share the black-and-white clip of Audrey performing the 1954 Mexican classic, originally penned by Tomás Méndez. In his post, Tim revealed just how emotional the moment was:
“Had to post this, our baby girl Audrey bringing mom and dad to tears!”
Audrey herself shared the video on social media, expressing her excitement to perform again in the future:
“Back in August, ‘Cucurrucucú Paloma’ with the amazing Adam Chetwood at Green Note in London. Can’t wait to get out again and play some tunes.”
The song, famously popularized by Lola Beltrán—known as “Lola the Great”—is an iconic Mexican ballad that compares a lovesick narrator to a mourning dove. Audrey’s heartfelt performance stayed true to the song’s roots while showcasing her incredible vocal control and range.
The video quickly gained traction on social media, racking up over 2 million views across TikTok and Instagram in just one day. Celebrities and fans alike flooded the comments with praise. Broadway legend Kristin Chenoweth, known for originating the role of Glinda in Wicked, joined the chorus of admiration, along with countless fans who were blown away by Audrey’s rendition:
- “What a beautiful voice and young lady she is.”
- “I’m shook that she sang this beautiful Mexican ballad. Viva Lola Beltrán y viva Mexico.”
- “I’m getting Linda Ronstadt vibes! Beautiful.”
- “Absolutely breathtaking! My ears, my heart and my eyes were immersed in everything she gave in this video.”
Many fans also noted the striking similarities between Audrey’s voice and her mom, Faith Hill’s iconic soprano. One commenter summed it up perfectly:
“You can hear Faith in her voice too—amazing, gorgeous girl!”
