Tim McGraw‘s new single “Top of the World” has got him chatting with NASA astronaut Scott Kelly.
Tim McGraw: ‘I Don’t Think I’m the Best I Can Be Yet’
McGraw tweeted to NASA Monday, teasing the song with a video saying that he thought the astronauts at the International Space Station might like it — given its theme and all.
Hey @NASA, astronauts on @Space_Station might enjoy my new song. Check it out https://t.co/326YY3RPsB

The space station replied and the back-and-forth continued, as McGraw suggested maybe they would fly over his next concert and offered some praise to the astronauts’ work.
Thanks, @TheTimMcgraw! You’re on #TopOfTheWorld…we orbit around it. Look up & #SpotTheStation: http://t.co/oSsWTXxc2M pic.twitter.com/msr8u78VQ2

.@Space_Station Maybe you’ll fly over my next concert. We love what you’re doing up there, pushing humanity forward. Keep up the great work!

Astronaut Scott Kelly responded and the conversation continued.

As surly astronauts don’t converse with music stars and music stars don’t connect with astronauts every day, surely both sides are feeling on “Top of the World” after these interactions.
Here’s hoping they actually do meet up in person someday.
.@TheTimMcGraw Maybe! Let me know where. Appreciate your support from #TopOfTheWorld on @Space_Station! #YearInSpace pic.twitter.com/b1GTnfxKiA
