Last week, Reba McEntire made history as she hosted the American Country Music Awards for the 17th time, and she certainly captured everyone’s attention.
The legendary singer took the stage in Fresco, Texas, as the host of the ceremony, a role she’s played many times before, including in 2019 and as recently as last year.
At 69 years old, Reba is a pro at hosting, and her opening monologue showed she was ready to deliver another unforgettable performance. Fans watching at home were quick to praise her hosting skills, and they didn’t hold back on complimenting her stunning outfit on the red carpet.
According to reports, Reba walked the red carpet in a black sequined blazer paired with flared trousers by Roberto Cavalli that featured a beautiful lace pattern. She completed her glamorous look with turquoise jewelry, including a necklace and chandelier earrings.
Reba’s outfit sparked a lot of buzz online. The singer, who also performed the “Star Spangled Banner” at this year’s Super Bowl, is beloved across the country, and her fans were out in full force after the 2024 ACM Awards.
“Absolutely stunning as usual, Reba,” one fan commented.
Another said, “You are amazing at what you do, but it’s also important to mention how amazing you look.”
“She is one gorgeous woman,” another admirer added.
But it wasn’t just her look that impressed people—her natural talent for hosting was also widely appreciated. As mentioned, this year’s event marked the 17th time Reba has hosted, and her connection to the ACM Awards goes back more than 40 years, starting when she won her first award.
Reba didn’t miss the chance to joke about her long history with the event, saying, “Jelly Roll used to be the name of an after-school snack,” referring to the award-nominated country artist Jelly Roll.
She also joked that a stagecoach, not a festival, was how she got to school.
Fans watching the show were quick to share their thoughts on Reba’s performance.
“Having Reba host this year’s show is like having your favorite aunt come over for dinner,” one fan on X wrote. “She’s so sweet & you love to hear from her.”
Another added that the star “is just an absolutely incredible entertainer, country music is lucky to have her.”
“It’s always a good time and a party,” a third person said.
Another fan called McEntire “the ultimate host.”
