(AUDIO) Reba Is Ready To Razzle Dazzle In Vegas!

It’s been over 6 months since the announcement of Reba to perform in Vegas. Now it stands only weeks away. In between releasing a #1 album, taping TV shows, launching a new makeup line, and performing concerts…Reba has been preparing for the one-of-a-kind residency. Reba with Brooks & Dunn kicks off June 17th at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

The superstar recalled the first time she played Sin City and commented, “It was very important to me. I had spandex pants and sequenced tops to match. That was big time! Even when I couldn’t afford it, because…THAT was Vegas!”

Any Reba fan can tell you that one of the highlights of her stage show is her performance of the storytelling classic, “Fancy.” The song is a production in itself. And according to Reba, the costume for the song is what’s getting a lot of her attention right now…

Reba – Vegas is razzle dazzle :21
“I think I’ve spent more time on the “Fancy” dress than anything else, more than the set list. I love to razzle dazzle. That’s Vegas! You don’t come in there with an everyday outfit. Because when you go to Vegas you want to see sequence. You want to see sparkle. You want to see something flashy. I like that. And if I was going, that’s what I’d want to see. So that’s what I’m gonna be puttin’ on.”
