Early Life: A rodeo start to musical fame

Born in 1955 in Kiowa, Oklahoma, Reba McEntire discovered her passion for music while performing in rodeos during her teenage years. She began her journey to stardom when Red Steagall, a country artist, discovered her vocal talent at a rodeo event. Following this encounter, she moved to Nashville, Tennessee, in 197 to kickstart her music career.

After completing her degree at Southeastern Oklahoma University, McEntire recorded her debut album in Nashville. Although her initial singles had a modest reception, she gained traction with her cover of Patsy Cline’s “Sweet Dreams” from her second album.
