Reba McEntire might be making her 'Voice' coach debut, but the Queen of Country has a long, successful career in the music industry. Here are some facts you might not know about the iconic singer.
Reba McEntire is gearing up to join the 'Voice' as a coach for the fall 2023 season. The Queen of Country has had an impressive music career that spans decades. McEntire has three Grammy Awards, she's won CMA female vocalist of the year four times, and in 2018, she received the Kennedy Center Honors for her lifetime of contributions to American culture.
Ranch life plus ‘playing beer joints and honky-tonks’ Reba grew up on an 8,000-acre cattle ranch in Oklahoma. She frequently went on rodeo trips with her father, Clark McEntire, who was a champion calf roper. 'Daddy was world-champion steer roper three years. Grandpap was a world-champion steer roper,' McEntire told CMT in 2011. 'So we had champions in our family, and I consider my mama a champion for just putting up with all four of us kids.
For My Broken Heart’ As McEntire's career continued to flourish, she suffered a tragic loss in 1991. While on tour, one of two private, chartered jets that were carrying members of her band crashed near San Diego, California. Eight of her band members did not survive the crash, as well as the pilot and co-pilot. 'She was very close to all of them,' Reba's spokesperson said at the time, according to E! News. 'Some of them had been with her for years.
It is very true,' she said. 'It was a very popular show in Holland, I'm pretty sure, and I watched the tape, and I said, 'No, I'm going to pass on that,' because I don't think I could ever be able to tell somebody that they're terrible or ‘Go find another job’ or ‘Hope you like your nighttime job.’ I couldn't do that day in and day out. I just couldn't do it. So I did pass on it.
