Mini bio
Rodeo roots.
Reba grew up on an Oklahoma cattle ranch and sang with siblings Pake and Susie as the Singing McEntires. Red Steagall heard her sing the national anthem at the 1974 National Finals Rodeo and helped her make the recordings that led to a Mercury deal.
Finding her sound.
Her first country No. 1s arrived in 1982 and 1983. After moving to MCA, she took more control of her music with My Kind of Country in 1984 and won her first CMA Female Vocalist of the Year award.
Songs that tell a life.
Rumor Has It brought fans “Fancy” and “You Lie.” After the loss of band and crew members in a plane crash, she recorded For My Broken Heart as a tribute. Released in 1991, it includes “Is There Life Out There” and “The Greatest Man I Never Knew.”
Another kind of stage.
She made her Broadway debut as Annie Oakley in Annie Get Your Gun in 2001, then played Reba Hart across six seasons of Reba. Fans can now see her as Bobbie in Happy’s Place and hear her revisiting her catalog alongside new songs.
