From a press release:
Grammy Award-winning country music superstar Tim McGraw will start the year off right by headlining the College Football Playoff Game tonight, performing his new song “Way Down” from a forthcoming album later this year and his Nielsen BDS-certified “Most Played Radio Song of the Decade” hit “Something Like That.”
