Reba McEntire on ‘Happy’s Place,’ ‘The Voice’ and Her Superstar Singing Career: ‘I Thank God for the Fans’


Reba McEntire discusses her new sitcom 'Happy's Place,' 'The Voice' and her singing career.

At her March 20 performance at Yaamava’ Theater — a 3,000-seat venue in Highland, California — McEntire presents herself not as a larger-than-life rhinestone superstar but rather one of them: one of the many mature women in the audience wearing a combination of skinny jeans and T-shirts. To prove her prowess, McEntire’s set includes a medley of covers of signature songs from powerhouse R&B and pop singers: Aretha Franklin’s “Respect,” the Supremes’ “You Keep Me Hangin’ On” and Dua Lipa’s “Don’t Start Now.” The latter is a surprise that gets the crowd on their feet. Established in 2003, Nashville’s Safe Haven Family Shelter is a nonprofit that has been embraced by Music City label executives and others for its comprehensive approach to bringing people in from the streets and guiding them into long-term housing.
