Tim McGraw has no problem breaking out in song, whenever requested. The three-time Grammy winner appeared on Wednesday night's episode of _The Late Show_, where he discussed his

starring role in _1883_. Before wrapping up the show, host Stephen Colbert told the 54-year-old country singer, "I was curious if you'd be willing to sing something out to

break." "I know you didn't come here to sing, you came here to act, but that part's done," he teased. McGraw laughed and quickly accepted, grabbing the mic and

performing an impromptu cover of Elton John's "Tiny Dancer" with the help of Colbert's bandleader Jon Batiste. _NEVER MISS A STORY — SIGN UP FOR _PEOPLE_'S FREE

friends every now and then. In December 2021, _1883 _star LaMonica Garrett told PEOPLE that McGraw is often belting out a tune on the set of the Paramount+ series. "On set, Tim sings

every day," Garrett, 46, told PEOPLE at the global premiere of the _Yellowstone_ prequel. "Every day, like in between takes, he's just, he's humming. He's doing

something. He sings all the time." The country star will apparently perform his own songs, other people's songs, and even make up songs about things happening on set.

"He'll sing, 'the horse is angry today' in a jingle," Garrett explained at the time. "You know, he's a singer and that's what singers do, they sing

about their own stuff and everything else." McGraw portrays the Dutton family patriarch in the highly anticipated _Yellowstone_ prequel. The series follows the Dutton family as they

trek west through America in search of a more promising future in Montana. Along the journey for land and opportunity, the family is forced to confront loss and hardship as they plow their

way westward. In addition to McGraw and Garrett, _1883_ also features Faith Hill, Billy Bob Thornton, and Isabel May. New episodes of _1883_ air Sundays on Paramount+.
