Every fall and winter for four months she has millions of fans who know nothing about country music. She has the honour of kicking off the Sunday night football games each week.

Audrey Faith was born on September 21 in Jackson, Mississippi and adopted by the Perry's. She began singing at the age of three and her first public performance was at seven.

Following in the footsteps of fellow country star Reba McEntire - who influenced her - by singing with her band at a rodeo. Faith was 17.

At 19 she moved to Nashville where she met and married music producer Dan Hill. She was "discovered" while working as a secretary and was heard singing to herself.

Once she began making records, she immediately started topping the charts and selling millions of records. Her debut album in 1993 sold over three million copies. Faith Hill is the only artist to have three consecutive albums debut in the Billboard Top 200 and the Country charts at the same time.

In 1996 she met while touring and later married country star Tim McGraw - the son of former big league pitcher Tug McGraw. The couple have three girls.

During her career Faith Hill has won five Grammys her first in 2003, eleven number one singels, 20 number one videos, three Country Music Association Awards, 12 Academy of Country Music Awards, four American Music Awards, and four People's Choice Awards.

Country star Faith Hill is more than just a pretty face to greet football fans.
