She was born on March 28, 1955 in McAlester, Oklahoma to Jacqueline and Clark Vincent McEntire. Named after her maternal grandmother Reba Estelle Smith, the music legend learned to sing and play guitar at a young age. Her father and grandfather were both champion steer ropers, so as a child, she would sing at rodeos along with her siblings.

Dubbed the “Queen of Country,” McEntire has sold over 75 million records worldwide. In addition to her many hits on the record charts, she has also found success on the small screen as the star of the television series Reba, which ran for six seasons. You can currently catch her on the television crime thriller, Big Sky.
