For Audrey McGraw, music isn’t just a career—it’s been a part of her life since the very start. The young musician has always been organically drawn to singing and performing while being surrounded by the craft from country star parents Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. Most recently, however, she’s ventured out on a path of her own. “Growing up around music and the industry, I think it just felt familiar to me—but I truly was naturally drawn to music from the get-go,” McGraw says of her musical interests. “I remember being young, and when I went to concerts, I had the strongest urge to just jump up onstage. I still get that urge.”

Soon, concertgoers across the world will be able to witness that spark in person. After releasing her first singles while touring in 2025, McGraw headed out on tour in February with stops at New York City’s Soho House and Casa Cipriani. Later in the month, she’ll journey across the pond to London, taking the stage at the ornate Fitzrovia Chapel. “The crowds in New York have been amazing, and honestly I’ve had such a fun time,” McGraw says. “People in New York are honest and just simply love art. It’s special to share music with those who really listen. London is one of my favorite places to visit, and I’ve had great experiences performing there, too.”

However, don’t expect to just spot McGraw onstage. She certainly plans to make use of her time in the UK with visits to music venues and restaurants. “Honestly, I simply want to walk around and discover,” she says. “What I love about London is the ability to be spontaneous, in a similar way to New York. It seems there is always something cool to stumble upon—and, if need be, always a peaceful place to lay low.”

As 2026 progresses, McGraw’s setting her sights on a range of upcoming projects. In addition to touring, she’ll continue working on her upcoming album and hopes to explore her aforementioned passion for acting. With a variety of creative interests and passions, it’s proof that she’s already thinking outside the box towards the future as her career begins taking flight. “I know there will always be ups and downs, but I’m confident in where I’m going and my passion to keep doing so. I love what I do. My goal is to stay committed, focused, and grounded in the journey,” McGraw says. “All in all, I just want to continue to explore the possibilities that this beautiful life of art has to offer.
