Tim McGraw lightened the mood while supporting a serious cause, playing his upbeat 1999 hit "Something Like That" while dangling from his pool diving board for the iHeart Living Room Concert for America on Sunday night (March 29). Even though McGraw was isolated in his backyard, he was joined for the fun throwback by his bandmates playing from their own homes and beamed in for a four-screen performance -- kind of like a musical version of those Zoom happy hours you've been having with your friends while staying at home. The Living Room Concert for America -- hosted by Elton...
