Reba McEntire made history last week, hosting the American Country Music Awards for a record-breaking 17th time—and she certainly commanded attention in the process. The legendary country star took center stage as emcee for the ceremony in Fresco, Texas, adding yet another hosting gig to her long list of ACM appearances, including recent stints in 2019 and just last year.
Dressed to impress, Reba dazzled in a stunning ensemble, completing her look with eye-catching turquoise jewelry, including a statement necklace and chandelier earrings. As expected, her outfit sparked plenty of buzz online, with fans quick to share their admiration.
A beloved icon far beyond the country music world, Reba has remained a fan favorite for decades. Fresh off her powerful performance of the "Star-Spangled Banner" at this year’s Super Bowl, she once again proved her show-stopping presence at the ACM Awards. At 69, she’s a seasoned pro, and her sharp, charismatic opening monologue left no doubt that she was in top form.
Viewers watching from home were full of praise—not just for her flawless hosting skills but also for her impeccable fashion choices on the red carpet. With yet another successful ACM Awards under her belt, Reba continues to shine as a country music legend and an entertainment powerhouse.
"Absolutely stunning as always, Reba," one fan gushed. Another added, "You are incredible at what you do, but it’s worth mentioning just how amazing you look, too!" A third admirer chimed in, "She is truly a gorgeous woman."
It wasn’t just Reba’s dazzling look that left fans in awe—her effortless charm and natural talent for hosting stole the show as well. As mentioned, this year marked an incredible milestone, with McEntire hosting the ACM Awards for a record 17th time. Her connection with the event spans over four decades, dating back to her first award win, making her a true country music legend.
Reba didn’t let the moment pass without a bit of humor. She playfully quipped that Jelly Roll—referring to the award-nominated country artist—used to be just an after-school snack. She also joked that a stagecoach was once her ride to school, rather than a famous country music festival.
Fans wasted no time in sharing their appreciation for Reba’s hosting prowess. “Having Reba host this year’s show is like having your favorite aunt over for dinner,” one fan on X wrote. “She’s so sweet, and you love to hear from her.” Another praised, “She is just an absolutely incredible entertainer—country music is lucky to have her.”
“It’s always a good time and a party,” a third fan commented, while another dubbed Reba “the ultimate host.”
