Country music superstar Tim McGraw drew the ire of fans when he announced that he’s partnered with Planet Fitness, the transgender-friendly national gym chain.
Like Bud Light and Target, Planet Fitness was the target of boycotts over its promotion of a lifestyle that millions of Americans find to be repulsive after an incident in one of its outlets in which an elderly woman customer was banned after complaining about a man shaving in the ladies dressing room.
The backlash cost the company at least $400 million, but it wasn’t enough to scare off McGraw who in a since-deleted tweet and post to Instagram, shilled for the controversial company, inviting his fans to sign up and get their first month free.

The award-winning singer, who has three daughters, was called out by the popular Libs of TikTok account.
“Country Singer Tim McGraw announced a new partnership with Planet Fitness. Tim has 3 daughters. @TheTimMcGraw do you feel comfortable letting your daughter use PF knowing a man can expose himself to her and PF will defend the man because that’s their policy? Do you support this?” LOTT asked.
McGraw responded by blocking Libs of TikTok.
Welp that was fast. This might be a new record. So is that a yes or no in answer to my question? @thetimmcgraw pic.twitter.com/Zg4P1SqrJm

The singer then posted what seemed to be an effort to engage in damage control, saying that the proceeds would benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
Tim McGraw partnered with Planet Fitness and will be donating the proceeds to Boys and Girls Clubs of America.
They’re pretending to care about young boys and girls. They don’t seem to care though that young girls are being forced to share locker rooms with men in Planet… https://t.co/L0Ez9f5Z3J pic.twitter.com/1f9memwzj1

“Tim McGraw partnered with Planet Fitness and will be donating the proceeds to Boys and Girls Clubs of America,” scoffed LOTT. “They’re pretending to care about young boys and girls. They don’t seem to care though that young girls are being forced to share locker rooms with men in Planet Fitness’ facilities.”
The reaction from X users could be a sign “Tim McGraw Is About to Find Out What #Budlighted Means.”

Is Tim McGraw ok with a man naked in the locker room with his daughters?
I would like him to answer that question.

Tim, why are you supporting a company that lets men expose girls to their penises in the locker room as long as they pretend to call themselves a girl? This is sick.

Planet fitness is for predators. Tim McGraw should be ashamed of himself.

They are all hypocrites, it’s always about the money. Behind every radical policy, somebody is getting rich.

Tim McGraw has three daughters. you would think he would know better.
but he wants to pretend to be cool or that he gives a damn.
He’s part of the problem.

Planet Fitness and other brands that have become evangelists for the transgender agenda have now become toxic and McGraw’s decision to hook up with the chain could come back to haunt him.
