Reba McEntire Career

Reba McEntire grew up in Oklahoma as one of four siblings. With her mom's support, they formed a group called the Singing McEntires, performing locally and even making some recordings. After high school, McEntire went to Southeastern Oklahoma State University to become a teacher but kept singing on the side. At a rodeo, country singer Red Steagall heard her and helped her get a recording contract with PolyGram/Mercury Records in 1975. That same year, she moved to Nashville with her mom to pursue her music career.

In the beginning, Reba McEntire's music didn't do very well with PolyGram/Mercury Records. But in the early 1980s, things started picking up, with hits like "(You Lift Me) Up to Heaven" and "Can't Even Get the Blues" reaching the top of the charts. Still, she wasn't satisfied with her career direction, so she signed with MCA Records in 1984. Her album "My Kind of Country" was a big success, with two number one country songs, showing she was heading towards a more traditional style. Throughout the 1980s, she released seven more albums and had ten more number one hits, including songs like "One Promise Too Late" and "Whoever's in New England," which won a Grammy Award.

In 1991, Reba McEntire faced a tragic loss when eight members of her band died in a plane crash in San Diego, California. This inspired her to create her highly-praised album "For My Broken Heart," which became her best-selling album ever. Throughout the 1990s, she released several successful albums like "Read My Mind," "What If It's You," and "If You See Him," which included hit songs such as "The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter" and "How Was I to Know."

McEntire also ventured into acting, starring in movies like "Tremors" and playing Annie Oakley in the Broadway musical "Annie Get Your Gun" in 2001. She later starred in the TV series "Reba" and more recently appeared on "Young Sheldon" as June Ballard. Since 2023, she's been a coach on "The Voice."
