In the past couple of weeks, artists' security in concerts has heightened after incidents of injuries were reported as some fans throw objects on artists faces, leading them to pause the performance, suffer some minor injuries, or worse, cancel the whole performance.

Now that Country music legend Tim McGraw is embarking on his first arena tour in years, he assured fans that he doesn't need to beef up his security for his upcoming concerts.

Tim McGraw Concert Security

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Tim McGraw was asked whether he plans to add more security to his upcoming concerts or not given the fact of the rising cases of fan-related incidents.

"No," McGraw said. "Hopefully I'm still spry, and hope I can dodge and duck and leap. I mean it's absolutely crazy and then you ruin the show for everybody else."

Notably, artists like Bebe Rexha, Morgan Wallen, and Kelsea Ballerini have objects thrown at them at one point during their concerts. Superstars like Harry Styles, Taylor Swift, and even Drake were also not exempted from the unruly act.

McGraw promised that the concert will be a safe one while also teasing what fans could expect on his tour.

"It's the first time we've done an arena tour in a long time. I'm looking forward to it. We've got some crazy spectacular production I'm looking forward to everybody seeing. This is probably one of the coolest productions we've ever had. We're gonna blow it out," he gushed.

He also clarified that no pyrotechnics will be present on his show.

"I'm not a big pyro guy. I'm scared to death. I know myself enough that I move around all over the place and sure enough, I'll be standing right over one of those things when it goes off," he quipped. "We don't need that. I'd light my a** on fire."

Asked whether his three daughters with wife Faith Hill would be making an appearance, McGraw had this to say.

"Maybe I'll talk them into it. Maybe they'll sort of grow out of that phase a little bit where they don't want to sing with me. They'll sing with Mom, but I'm probably not up to par with the rest of them," McGraw shared. "I'm the worst singer in the family. It's true. I'm pretty good, but I'm the worst singer in the family."
