Yesterday Tim McGraw issued the following statement on his website:

I hope my live shows are proof enough of how much I absolutely love performing for you guys. I’m so sad to have to cancel this year’s Here on Earth Tour but everyone’s safety has to be the top priority. We’re working with our teams to figure out when and how we can get back out on the road and see you all safely. In the meantime, we’re looking for some new ways to connect with you and get more music out.

Now let's hope the rest of the 2020 Minnesota State Fair is able to go on.
