The Surprise Moment
Taking the stage during their Soul2Soul World Tour, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill performed their usual duets and hit singles from their solo careers, but there was an impromptu moment when Faith Hill took the stage to perform a tribute to Prince that literally brought her husband crashing to the ground.

Minneapolis, which is Prince’s hometown, was the perfect place for Faith Hill to try her hand at one of his biggest hits – “Purple Rain.” And as she spoke to the band, asking for a note, Tim was walking along the other section of their custom stage.
