Reba McEntire’s Patriotic Performance Wows Super Bowl 2024 Audience
Reba McEntire made her Super Bowl debut, delivering a stunning performance of the “Star-Spangled Banner” at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium ahead of the Feb. 11 matchup of the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs.
For the occasion, the Reba alum wore a silver blazer and silver embroidered black bell bottoms, along with her father’s 1961 Championship Belt Buckle in a sweet tribute. She was also joined on the field by Coda star Daniel Durant, who signed the anthem as Reba sang.
While this was her first time performing at the Super Bowl, Reba joins a long list of country singers who have stood in her shoes on football’s biggest stage. In fact, she is the fourth in a row to be given the honor, following performances by Chris Stapleton, Mickey Guyton, and Eric Church in previous years.
This moment was especially poignant for the 68-year-old, who sang her first national anthem at a rodeo 50 years ago. During a recent appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, she expressed her gratitude and disbelief at the opportunity.
