Title: The Unlikely Friendship Between Reba McEntire and Taylor Swift Revealed
The Beginnings of a Lasting Friendship
Reba McEntire and Taylor Swift’s Heartwarming Bond
The two were last photographed together at the 2015 Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards. At the 2011 CMA Awards, they shared a hug after Reba announced Taylor as the winner of CMA Entertainer of the Year.
Last December, Reba sang the “Wildest Dreams” singer’s praises as she recalled the first time she heard her singing live. It was at the 2007 ACM Awards, where Taylor performed her debut single, “Tim McGraw,” in front of Tim McGraw, who sat in the front row with wife and fellow country star Faith Hill.
A Star in the Making
“She walked down the steps looking right at Tim McGraw, singing,” Reba told NBC last December 2023. “And I’m like, ‘This girl is gonna be a huge star.'”
