Posted: 16 Sep 2014 10:00 AM PDT

Ten of his 13 album releases have reached #1 on the Top Country Album charts. He's married to the gorgeous and talented Faith Hill. And he's never seen without a cowboy hat. Who else could we talking about but the immensely talented Tim McGraw?

Tonight, Tuesday, September 16, the star is performing live from the Hammerstein Ballroom as part of the American Express Unstaged series, in partnership with VEVO and YouTube. Starting live at 6 p.m. PT, you can watch this exclusive performance directed by Bennett Miller, from the comfort of the American Express YouTube channel.

To get amped before the show starts, watch and share the trailer; get your sing-along on to "Meanwhile Back At Mama's"; learn to line dance; and catch up on special Unstaged moments from the past like Sugarland and Kenny Chesney.

Now tip your hat, put on your boots, and join us for a night of country to remember.

The power of finding your tribe on YouTube

Posted: 16 Sep 2014 06:00 AM PDT

Today's guest post is from Ann Shoket, Editor-in-Chief of Seventeen magazine.

The first-ever YouTube issue of Seventeen magazine hits stands today and celebrates the new generation of stars we love. But we obsess over YouTube stars for different reasons than we like traditional Hollywood stars. Those celebs seem so perfect—we can only dream about living their glamorous lives. But on YouTube, we root for the people who are sort of unpolished, a little weird even. We connect with them because they show us their authentic selves, because they are accessible to us.



There's a moment of total freedom when a girl is alone in her room watching her favorite YouTubers and all the expectations of who she should be and the judgments of people around her just melt away. In that moment she is most powerfully, herself.

The connection is just as deep for the stars. Our cover girl Bethany Mota, the first-ever YouTube personality to grace the cover of a national women's magazine, told us how the community on YouTube was an escape from bullying and the loneliness she was feeling. Shane Dawson says that he used to be shy, but on YouTube, he felt free to show his wild side.

 

It's liberating to surround yourself with people who just get you. The power of finding your tribe on YouTube is creating a space where it's okay to be 100 percent you!
