When Reba first released “Just Like Them Horses,” she found a new way to talk with her fans through Facebook Live. For 10 to 15 minutes she would read emails from fans about what the song meant to them. It was so emotional that at times she had to stop and wipe tears.
And since it was live on camera, with nothing edited, fans got to see the superstar in a more personal way than ever before. For the same reasons, some artists back away from that outlet, but Reba sees it as a way to connect with her fans, and says she’s ready to do it again…

Reba – will do facebook live again :13
“I think it was very educational to me to hear what the fans like, what they’re thinking, how they’re feeling about the video, “Just Like Them Horses.” And also, it was very emotional. So yeah, I will do some more.”
