Reba McEntire - Kennedy Center Honors - 2018

[@lisavaden9903]

My husband worked for Reba at her company Starstruck Inc in Nashville (mid to late 90s) NOW he was just a peon in her company but she paid him (us) a good living wage plus for co. bonus(s) VIP passes to her concerts, special invitations to her recording studio in Nashville during the CMAs having a HUGE TV screen for us to view THEN the after party there with big names guest showing up there, she treated us with trips (with her) to Cancun Mexico staying at the Ritz-Carlton something we could never afford she treated us as well as she did her private Pilots at first I was so hesitant not to go just feeling inferior but within minutes in to the flight she put my insecurity at rest she was so down to earth so kind..the old saying what you see is what you get..thats so true with Reba she is the same person off stage as she is on stage! What a real person she is! Thank you Reba your are a true jewel ♥️

Just like Dolly Parton, Rebas music has always felt so heart warming and welcoming. The fact that her daughter in law Kelly sang one of her best songs as a tribute to her, is one the best gifts she could have

[@trgoohileshea2820]

Kelly Clarkson is literally one of the best singers in the world. That woman can do literally anything and blow out of the proverbial water. Not a single person could have won the first season of Idol and done it any justice besides her. She is one of the best female vocalists around.

[@jeremiahgabriel5709]

Thanks for sharing that. That's really the test right? Like to hear stories from random strangers on the internet saying "This famous woman is actually as fantastic a human being as as people say." *insert some quote about it's not only how you treat the most famous people or your best friend, that indicates your character, but about how you treat the random humans you come into contact with*.

[@772Dinoman]

One of my friends worked on some of her music videos in the early 2000s, in a menial position at that. His father died a year or so after that, but he was supposed to work on the next one she did that was shooting the week of his father’s death. When she didn’t see him, she asked around, and after she found out why he wasn’t there, she called him personally to give him her condolences and sent flowers to the funeral. He said she was as sweet as she seems to be because that’s just who she is. He has worked for many celebrities since and told me that Reba was absolutely his favorite.

[@johnsuttoniiijs]

He had other singers and rodeo clowns on it,but Reba was the one he showed us so proud of it. It was really so natural to see her be kind to her fans. We saw her again at the Houston Livestock Show Rodeo singing along side Charlie Pride. We still talk about how amazing the concert was. She doesn't sound like anyone else you know Reba comes on the car radio. We sing along going fishing.
