"Geez, what happened to Faith?" — Internet reacts to Tim McGraw's women's rights message in tribute to wife on her birthday

Country music superstar Tim McGraw has stirred up a wave of reactions online after posting a heartfelt message in support of women's rights while celebrating his wife, Faith Hill, on her birthday.

On September 21, 2024, McGraw took to his Instagram account to share a birthday tribute to his wife, but it was not the usual romantic post fans expected. Instead, McGraw surprised many with a powerful message about supporting women's rights, sparking widespread reactions across the internet.

"Let's honor the women in our lives with respect and make sure that we fight for their rights right alongside them!" McGraw wrote.

The social media users on X flooded the internet with responses, ranging from admiration to curiosity, and some reacted with mere disbelief, suggesting that engaging in progressive causes has a negative impact on individuals:

"Geez, what happened to Faith? Liberalism really takes a toll on people," one wrote.

Moreover, some users on X showed disapproval of McGraw's message on women's rights as they interpreted the singer's message as advocating for the right to choose abortion and expressed strong disapproval:

"Tim McGraw basically saying he hopes and prays that his daughters and granddaughters can have a baby scraped from their wombs anytime they want to," one wrote.

"Let's educate our women about prevention of pregnancy so abortions are rare," another on X.

"All Tim is worried about is an abortion. He forgets all of the other rights women should have," one more on X.

"And if I am uncomfortable when a man in a wig comes into the woman's bathroom, I don't feel respected," netizen on X.

Contralily, many on X praised McGraw for his powerful message, suggesting that he truly believes that women have control and rights over their bodies. Some indicated that McGraw and Hill are the most "responsible couple":

"Real men believe women should have control over their own bodies. Thank you Tim McGraw #VoteBlue2024ProtectWomensRights," one wrote.

"They are one of the most responsible and loving couples in country music," another on X.

"Exactly! Stand up men! Any father who allows a male to follow their little girl into a bathroom or locker room is not a man," a third wrote on X.

"Good message 👏," one more on X.

"Love this!" another netizen on X.

While many fans praised Tim McGraw for his message and his commitment to supporting women's rights, some were left questioning the context, leading to the viral sentiment. McGraw is yet to comment on the reactions.
