Reba McEntire embodies much more than the image of “a hardworking single mom who loves her kids” portrayed in her hit song. She is a country music icon and the latest celebrity coach to join the esteemed panel of The Voice. Beginning her musical journey at 19, Reba has ascended to become one of the most significant recording artists in the history of country music.
The Voice has gained a new fan favorite with Reba, not just for her powerhouse presence in the country genre but for her genuine empathy and mentorship towards her contestants. However, her rise to stardom wasn’t without its challenges. Her initial album release faltered, peaking at number 88 on the Billboard charts before fading away. Undeterred, Reba persisted and achieved a breakthrough in the 1980s with chart-topping hits like “How Blue” and “Till You Love Me.” Since then, she has continued to dominate the country music scene, boasting an unmatched record of 16 number one albums among women in country music.
Beyond her musical accomplishments, Reba has made a significant impact in acting, accumulating substantial wealth over the years. Her estimated net worth, reported to be as high as $95 million by Celebrity Net Worth, reflects her success, largely derived from her chart-topping albums from the ’80s and ’90s and her continuous musical output. Recently, she unveiled a new album and lifestyle book titled Not That Fancy: Simple Lessons on Living, Loving, Eating, and Dusting Off Your Boots, which contains personal stories, recipes, and revamped versions of her greatest hits.
Her versatility extends into acting, starting with her appearance in the 1990 film Tremors and culminating in her starring role in the successful television series Reba, which ran for six seasons. Additionally, she showcased her stage prowess as Annie Oakley in a Broadway adaptation of Annie Get Your Gun in 2001.
In addition to her entertainment endeavors, Reba expanded her horizons by establishing her own restaurant, Reba’s Place in Atoka, OK. Her diverse talents and ventures have kept fans eager for her next move, while her ongoing involvement in The Voice ensures her presence in the spotlight.
