Reba McEntire — the red-haired fire that’s lit up country music for nearly five decades — has always said she’d “keep singing as long as the good Lord lets me.” And now, at 70, the Queen of Country is stepping into a brand-new chapter that has fans buzzing across Nashville, Vegas, and beyond.
Reba is officially “retired from grueling touring,” but she’s nowhere near stepping away from the spotlight. Instead, she’s preparing for a spectacular 2025/2026 Las Vegas Residency at The Colosseum, unveiling a groundbreaking performance model that blends live symphony arrangements, cinematic sound, and the intimate storytelling she’s famous for.
This new format gives Reba the chance to fill thousands of seats every night — without the exhausting demands of constant travel, back-to-back buses, and months on the road.
And the truth behind her choice?
It’s not just about comfort.
It’s about preservation, legacy, and reclaiming the joy of performing without the cost that touring once demanded.
Insiders say Reba chose Las Vegas because it gives her the freedom to:
• Deliver bigger, richer, more theatrical shows than a traditional tour could hold
• Protect her health, energy, and long-term vocal strength
• Spend more time with family — including her partner, Rex Linn — without the emotional drain of endless travel
• Build a performance legacy that will outlive her touring years
Fans already know:
Reba doesn’t slow down.
She evolves — boldly, brilliantly, and on her own terms.
And now the world is about to see why the Queen is trading the tour bus for the neon glow of Las Vegas… and how this residency may become the defining chapter of her 60-year career.
