History Music / RebaMcEntire

** Implied in the video for "Is There Life Out There", when her character Maggie's daughter spills coffee on her schoolwork. The daughter apologizes that it was an accident, to which Maggie replies that "I don't need any more ''accidents'' in my life!" Maggie's husband Andy then steps in to call her out on this, and a horrified Maggie breaks down when she realizes what she said.

--> ''I knew what I had to do and I made myself this solemn vow,\\
That I's gonna be a lady someday,\\
Though I don't know when or how,\\
But I couldn't see spending the rest of my life,\\
With my head hung down in shame,\\
You know I might have been born just plain white trash,\\
But [[MeaningfulName Fancy was my name]]!''

* {{Bowdlerise}}: Many radio stations cut Reba's version of "Fancy" short after three verses, probably to avoid having the last verse describe that Fancy "[[DoubleEntendre charmed a king and a congressman]]" and used prostitution to gain wealth and build a Georgia mansion and a New York flat, and finally makes peace with her dead mother after 13 years. Some stations, however, note the full-length version's running time (4:59) and, to fit it within an already tightly-formatted program, defer to the radio edit.

As it wakes me from the dark,\\
I guess the world didn't stop,\\
For my broken heart,\\
No the world ain't gonna stop,\\
For My Broken Heart...''

-->''That's the Night the Lights Went Out In Georgia,\\
That's the night they hung an innocent man,\\
Don't trust your soul to some backwoods southern lawyer,\\
'Cause the Judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hands.''

CountryMusic's reigning queen for the better part of two decades, [[UsefulNotes/OklahomaUSA Oklahoman]] Reba Nell [=McEntire=] (born March 28, 1955 in [=McAlester=], Oklahoma) 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 [[UsefulNotes/AmericanAccents twangy voice]], [[FieryRedhead 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.
