Tim McGraw's Girls Learn A Lesson From Kanye West

Rapper Kayne West’s now infamous interruption of country crooner Taylor Swift’s VMA acceptance speech rubbed a lot of viewers the wrong way – including Tim McGraw!

The dad-of-three tells CMT Insider that the much-talked about incident was upsetting to his daughters Gracie, 12, Maggie, 11, and Audrey, 7.

"He shows himself to be an idiot every time he does stuff like that," Tim says of the Stronger singer. "[My girls] were upset. But what he did do is provide a great example of how not to be, and my girls learned a big lesson."

Tim, who is married to country star Faith Hill, adds that he let his true feelings be known once his daughters were out of earshot: "When they weren't looking I said, "He needs an a-- whoopin'!"

Nineteen-year-old Taylor likely appreciates Tim’s support – after all, he was the subject of her first single, titled Tim McGraw.
