Then: Young Tim McGraw was growing up in the tiny, northeast Louisiana town of Start when he sat for this early '70s-era photo with his younger half-sisters. "My sisters and I Sandy and Tracey Throw back thurs #tbt," he captioned the shot.

Now: Tim McGraw, 46, is still surrounded by women! He and his country queen wife, Faith Hill, have three daughters, ages 12, 13, and 16. What's changed, however, is that McGraw's usually rocking a cowboy hat during his many performances, such as the one he's scheduled to give at the Academy of Country Music Awards this weekend. McGraw was also nominated in seven categories; he and Miranda Lambert tied for the most nominations this year.
