Parker McCollum<\/a> fanboyed hard when Tim McGraw<\/a> asked him to collaborate on their new song, “Paper Umbrellas<\/a>.”<\/p>\n McCollum was hanging out with\u00a0Taste of Country Nights<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and talked about how he found out that the country legend\u00a0was eyeing him for the collaboration.<\/p>\n “He asked me to do it\u00a0quite a while ago, like a long time ago, and then like nothing came of it,” McCollum says.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n He tried to forget about it and move on, figuring McGraw had maybe changed his mind.<\/p>\n Not the case. When he finally got that call, he lost his mind.<\/p>\n “A\u00a0few months ago, he reached back out and asked if I would sing on the song,” the “Pretty Heart” singer explains, “and I was in the studio working on my own record, so I popped in the booth one day and put a few takes on it.”<\/p>\n “It was a big honor. I’ve been a Tim McGraw fan my\u00a0whole life, so it was really cool.”<\/p>\n McCollum said he told McGraw, “‘Hey, if you don’t like it, you’re not going to hurt my feelings. Don’t sacrifice the song just to be nice to me.”<\/p>\n Obviously, McGraw liked it just fine.<\/p>\n “Paper Umbrellas” was originally released\u00a0on\u00a0the star’s 2023 album\u00a0Standing Room Only,\u00a0<\/em>but was just repurposed with McCollum’s vocals. Now, instead of being ‘just’ an album cut, it’s a full-on country radio single.<\/p>\n McGraw is 58 years old and McCollum is only 33, making their age gap 25 years.<\/p>\n Tim McGraw’s first song “What Room Was the Holiday In” was released in 1991 \u2014 Parker McCollum wasn’t even born yet.<\/p>\nWhat Is The Age Difference Between Parker McCollum and Tim McGraw?<\/h3>\n
