Reba McEntire just opened the ACM Awards... and what she did will give you absolute chills.
Hosting for a record-breaking 18th time, Reba didn't want flashy lights or backup dancers. She wanted to honor the roots of country music.
Opening an epic 12-minute tribute to 50 years of music, the Oklahoma native started by singing a classic 1969 hit from fellow Oklahoma legend, Merle Haggard. It wasn't just a performance; it was a deeply personal tribute that silenced the entire arena.
The Queen of Country remind everyone where this music actually comes from.
