Country star Faith Hill, 57, has largely eschewed the public spotlight for the past couple of years. The last major country music event she was at was the 2023 Academy of Country Music Awards, which were held almost two years ago.

But on Friday, June 6, she hit the town for CMA Fest 2025 in Nashville with good friend and fellow country singer Rita Wilson (who is also Tom Hanks‘ wife) and her youngest daughter with husband Tim McGraw, Audrey McGraw, 23, who just announced her first album.

At CMA Fest, Hill was photographed backstage giving a hug to Kelsea Ballerini and chatting it up with Shaboozey and Jelly Roll, who partnered together on the song “Amen” in 2024. She was also photographed smiling and living it up with Wilson and Audrey. See the pictures below:

Other than CMA Fest, Hill’s only major public appearance in the past year was at the opening night of Babe and the Beatles ’64 premiere in New York City last November. McGraw and Hill were seen at Carnegie Hall back in April when they were there to support eldest daughter Gracie in a concert presentation of John Monsky’s The Great War & The Great Gatsby, but there was no red carpet or official photos. Hill has also disappeared from social media entirely.

Hill was a major country music star in the 1990s, charting such hits as “Wild One,” “Piece of My Heart,” “Take Me as I Am,” “Let’s Go to Vegas,” “It Matters to Me,” “This Kiss,” “Breathe,” “The Way You Love Me” and “It’s Your Love,” which was a duet with her husband.

McGraw and Hill married in 1996 and share three daughters — Gracie, 28, Maggie, 26, and Audrey, 23.
