Tim McGraw and Tyler Hubbard will be a part of President Joe Biden's inauguration festivities singing their new duet "Undivided" on a primetime TV special on Wednesday (1/20).

Tyler says, “Yeah, we got a call just a few days ago and got invited to play the song at the inauguration, and I think Tim and I both were extremely excited and humbled. What a crazy cool opportunity – as simple as just to get to play music again, which is exciting in itself, but then to get to spread and share this message of hope and love and unity to the world. What better platform to get to do that on, so we’re both extremely excited.”

Tim added, “Very excited, and also, the background of what we’re gonna be shooting is gonna be Nashville. So, to showcase our city and all that it’s gone through in the last year is a big deal for us.”

The unprecedented inauguration of Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris will be followed by the primetime TV special hosted by Tom Hanks in what the inaugural team is calling a "capstone" to "showcase the American people's resilience, heroism, and unified commitment to coming together."

The 90-minute program will air on the major broadcast and cable news networks.
