After taking time to recover from recent surgeries, Tim McGraw is stepping back into the spotlight this weekend and he’s debuting a fresh new look.

Country Now has just obtained a set of new images, captured by photographer John Shearer, offering the first glimpse at McGraw’s summertime image. With the southeast regions facing record high temperatures this week, it appears the country icon has shaved his head in an attempt to beat the heat.

McGraw was spotted confidently strutting around Music City with his newly buzzed head, fully embracing the summer heat with style that featured a simple tee, cargo pants and a pair of dark shades.

Based off the photos alone, McGraw also seems to be recovering well from his recent health battles that forced him to dedicate his time to healing with some doctor-ordered rest. He recently revealed that over the past two years, he has undergone four major surgeries including a double knee replacement, back surgeries, and a shoulder surgery.

The “Paper Umbrellas” singer has been putting in the work to regain movement and strength through physical therapy in attempt to avoid having to cancel any shows this year. While he did unfortunately have to step back from his July 21 performance at Canvas Stadium as part of Colorado State University (CSU) and the Professional Bull Riders’ Last Cowboy Standing Event, McGraw is ready to return to the stage this weekend.

He is next set to appear at the Bristol Motor Speedway on August 2 as well as the first-ever concert at the iconic Field Of Dreams on August 30.

Plus, after scoring his 47th No. 1 hit with single “Standing Room Only.” With this milestone achievement, McGraw has officially earned over 69 Top 10 radio hits throughout his unmatched career and extended his Mediabase record for the most weeks at No. 1 with all titles to 74 weeks.

Once this news broke, we also learned that he set another new record for having the longest duration between his first No. 1 to his latest. With an impressive 29 years and 6 months, Tim McGraw has now surpassed the record held by the king of country music, George Strait.

The Louisiana native is said to be back in the studio and working on brand-new music in Nashville this week along with rehearsing for his upcoming summer concert dates. These forthcoming releases will follow 2023’s Standing Room Only album.
