Reba McEntire shares her journey of becoming friends with her country music heroes.
She recounts a humorous incident where Pickler and her husband spotted Reba in a restaurant but didn’t approach her to avoid disturbing her.
Reba appreciates fans greeting her as it acknowledges her presence.
Recently, she traveled to Iceland, Africa, and Italy, and performed with Brooks & Dunn in Las Vegas.
Her partner, Skeeter, whose real name is Anthony, has a unique nickname, typical in the country music community.
Reba received the Kennedy Center Honor, with Kelly Clarkson, Melissa Peterman, Brooks & Dunn, Lady A, and Kristin Chenoweth celebrating her achievement.
Reflecting on her career, Reba feels honored to inspire others, following the example set by her idols, Dolly Parton, Tammy Wynette, Loretta Lynn, and Barbara Mandrell.
She finds it surreal yet gratifying to transition from admiring these stars to becoming friends with them. For Reba, these legendary artists remain iconic figures, much like seniors in school, always looked up to regardless of one’s own achievements.
