Country music’s beloved redhead is making history again. Reba McEntire, the genre’s enduring superstar, will extend her record as the most frequent ACM Awards host when she takes the stage for the 17th time this May. The announcement came with an extra surprise – McEntire will debut new music during the ceremony.
“I’m absolutely delighted to be coming back,” McEntire shared in her characteristically warm manner. “The ACM Awards have been such an important part of my career, and I can’t wait to create more special memories this year.” Her Instagram tease about performing new material sent fans into a frenzy, with comments pouring in by the thousands within minutes of the post.
Industry insiders note that McEntire’s continued dominance as an awards show host speaks volumes about her enduring appeal. “Reba isn’t just a country music icon – she’s become part of the fabric of American entertainment,” noted music critic Sarah Johnson. “Her ability to connect with audiences never fades.” The May 16 event, streaming on Prime Video, promises to be one of the most talked-about country music nights of the year.
