[[Country Music]]'s reigning queen for the better part of two decades, Oklahoman Reba McEntire has done it all. In her career, she has racked up more than thirty #1 hits (out of more than 80 singles overall) - more than any other female country music artist - and had the first multi-platinum album by a female country act. She is known for her [[American Accents|twangy voice]], [[Fiery Redhead|bright red hair]] and strong, no-nonsense material. Her accolades include two Grammys (for "Whoever's in New England" and "Does He Love You"), as well as several trophies from the two major country music award associations, the Academy of Country Music and Country Music Association. Although her radio hits were fewer and further between in the 2000s, she came back in full force in late 2009-early 2010 with "Consider Me Gone," the biggest hit of her career.
 
Reba has also dabbled in acting a few times, including a six-season run in the [[Sit ComSitcom]] ''[[Reba]]'' and the role of Annie Oakley in the 2001 musical ''Annie Get Your Gun''. She also played Heather Gummer, Burt's wife in the first ''[[Tremors]]''.
 
To cap it all off, Reba was named a Country Music Hall of Fame inductee in 2011.

=== Tropes: ===
* [[American Accents]]: Her signature Oklahoma twang is one of the most recognizable speaking (and singing) voices in the music industry.
* [[Charity Motivation Song]]: "What If?", a charity single for the Salvation Army released in late 1997.
Line 14:
* [[Eighties Hair]]: In, well, the eighties, her hair was frequently bigger than she was.
* [[Fiery Redhead]]: A lot of her songs are rather empowering. "Take It Back" is one example.
* [[Good -Looking Privates]]: Reba looks ''very'' nice in dress whites in the video for "The Heart Won't Lie."
* [[Greatest Hits Album]]: Several of them, as befits her long and impressive career.
* [[Heavy Meta]]: "Turn On the Radio".
