Country star Tim McGraw to perform Oscar nominated song “I’m Not Gonna Miss You” at the Academy Awards.
There is nothing more annoying to me than someone who complains about country music. And this is coming from a 20-something hipster who gets his music suggestions from whatever Pitchfork tells me to like.

In all honesty though, I’m from Iowa, so I have kind of a soft spot for country. Which is why I was pretty jazzed to learn that Tim McGraw will be performing at the Oscars next month.
The country star will be performing the Oscar nominated song “I’m Not Gonna Miss You” for Glen Campbell. The song was written by Campbell and Julian Raymond for the documentary feature Glen Campbell: I’ll Be Me. The film showcases Campbell’s daily struggle with Alzheimer’s disease and was met to near universal acclaim.
“We couldn’t think of anyone better than Tim McGraw to properly celebrate Oscar nominee, Glen Campbell, “show produces Craig Zadan and Neil Meron said. “Tim is the consummate country artist and will bring a bit of Nashville to the Oscars stage.”
“I’m honored to be asked to sing this powerful song from one of the true legends of the music industry,” McGraw said.
The song joins the other nominees “Glory” from Selma, “Lost Stars” from Begin Again, “Grateful” from Beyond the Lights, and of course “Everything is Awesome” from The Lego Movie.
The Academy Awards will premiere on February 22nd.
