Reba Mc Entire couldn’t hold back her excitement over being invited to sing the national anthem at Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas. “This is my 50th anniversary since I sang it at the National Finals Rodeo in Oklahoma City in 1974,” she gushed ahead of her Feb. 11 performance.
The country music superstar and coach on The Voice, 68, has a lot of happiness in her life to crow about. In addition to her Super Bowl performance and 2023 album and book, Not That Fancy, a pilot for a new TV sitcom starring Reba has been greenlit by NBC. She’s also found real contentment in her family life and relationship with actor Rex Linn, 67.
Returning to sitcom TV has been a long-held dream for Reba, whose self-titled series ended in 2007 after six seasons. This new pilot will not be a reboot, but Reba has announced that she will reunite with her former show’s producing team for the pilot. “Reba’s years on TV were some of the best of her life,” says a friend. “Comedy is a natural fit for her. She has great timing and is so expressive. She modeled herself on Lucille Ball.”
