Tim McGraw’s deep tan drew plenty of attention as he was formally inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, Tennessee, on Sunday.

The I Like It, I Love It singer, 59, had a bronze look that outshone his own family while posing on the red carpet with wife Faith Hill, 59, and their daughters Audrey, 24, and Maggie, 28.

McGraw, 59, who took a rough tumble on stage back in August when his boot got caught in the flooring, was dressed in a dark red tuxedo and black cowboy hat, which only served to make his complexion stand out even more.

The public’s fascination over his deep tan has been going on for over a decade.

Fans have frequently pointed out his bronzed look during concerts and television appearances with some joking or speculating he relies on spray tanning, a tanning bed, or heavy sun.

McGraw has denied getting spray tans in the past, according to Allure magazine, so his dark skin tone might just be due to his active outdoor lifestyle living in the Nashville area.

The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for McGraw for comment and has yet to hear back.

McGraw delivered an emotional speech about his career and personal life on stage at the show.

‘I’m going to miss a lot of people saying thank you so if I miss you, I’m so sorry, and I’m gonna cry – I cry all the time, there’s a lot of estrogen in my house,’ he said.

McGraw credited the important women in his life, and thanked his wife, Hill, 59, and his family for their unwavering support.

Besides Maggie and Audrey, the couple also have daughter Gracie, 29.

The country crooner, in fact, previously revealed he started ‘sobbing’ when he found out he was being inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame alongside songwriter Paul Overstreet and bluegrass duo, the Stanley Brothers.

McGraw admitted it came as a complete shock during what he thought was a routine business call with his management.

‘I’m listening with earpods, and they said, “Hey, Tim, somebody else is on the line,”‘ he told People.

When Country Music Association CEO Sarah Trahern joined the call, he had no idea why.

I’ve spent the past decade chasing down celebrity scoops and scandals, and now I’m bringing the best of them straight to your inbox.

‘She said something about the Hall of Fame, and I totally missed what she was saying. It didn’t register at all, so I stopped walking and I said, “Hold on. Somebody’s gonna have to explain this to me because I don’t understand what you’re saying.” And she says, “Tim, we’re calling to tell you that you are going to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.”

‘I just lost it right on the street in New York. I’m sure people were running in all directions from me when that happened. I was just sobbing on the street.’

One month later, when the official announcement was made in the rotunda of the Country Music Museum, McGraw became overwhelmed once again.

‘I don’t know if I ever thought it would happen in my lifetime. I just had to stop in front of Merle Haggard’s plaque because he’s been my number one all time forever. And to stand there just for a brief second, I gave myself a moment to think that I’m gonna be hanging forever in the same room with Merle Haggard.’

McGraw added: ‘I always feel like I can get better, and I feel like I’ve got a lot of runway left in my career, in my life, and so what this does for me is it makes me want to live up to it. It’s new juice, I guess. I’ve gotta prove I belong here now!’
