She’s conquered the stage, topped the charts, and built a career that’s made her one of the most beloved names in country music. But when it comes to one simple family tradition, Reba McEntire admits — with a laugh — that she’s just plain terrible at it.
It’s not singing around the holiday table, or telling stories by the fire. No, this particular pastime is something her relatives have mastered for years, while Reba somehow never quite got the hang of it. In a recent conversation, she confessed that every attempt ends in friendly teasing from the family and plenty of good-natured laughter.
Maybe that’s the charm — the idea that even a legend who can command an arena still has that one thing she just can’t do. And for Reba, it’s become less about skill and more about the memories it creates: the joy of trying, the sound of everyone laughing together, and the reminder that perfection has never been what family’s about.
