With CMA Fest kicking off this week, the next few days are all about fan appreciation. Over the years Reba has presented some magical moments at the yearly event. Among those…In 2007, with no idea that she would one day be her daughter-in-law, the superstar surprised a roaring audience by bringing Kelly Clarkson on stage for a duet of “Does He Love You.” And in 1992, a generous Reba rented a 20,000 seat arena and treated her fans to a free concert. An event that still rates as one of the festival’s biggest moments!
She’s quick to tell you…“I have the best fans. They’re good to me and have been there through thick and thin.”
Never resting on her past accomplishments, the multi-platinum artist is about to deliver something new. In just over a week (starting June 17) Reba will settle into The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
She’s done Vegas before, but not like this! Her residency there is with good pals Brooks & Dunn and will include 6 shows this month, 3 in July, and 6 more in December.
More than dynamic, when you consider that between them, they’ve sold nearly 90 million records and topped the charts 59 times! So with that in mind, here’s their joking response to the question…“Will you be writing new songs for the Vegas shows?”…

Reba, Kix, and Ronnie – Songs for Vegas :19
“I think right now, we’re gonna focus on those songs and if we have time for anything else, I’ll have to rely on these guys, they’re the songwriters. KIX: I forgot to tell you we were working on an opener in the dressing room before you got there. REBA: And the name of it is? KIX & RONNIE: Sin City redhead? Las Vegas, redhead? REBA: Yep they’re still working on it! (laughter out)”
