Reba McEntire proved she is the queen of country as she arrived in style at the 59th Academy of Country Music Awards on Thursday.
The legendary hitmaker, 69 — who is set to return to the sitcom world with her new show Happy’s Place — took over the red carpet with her boyfriend Rex Linn at the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas.
Dressed to impress in a sparkling black sequin tuxedo jacket and sheer leggings adorned with endless fringe, the Hometown Gal hitmaker stole the spotlight.
She added a touch of drama with an oversized turquoise necklace, while her trademark ginger locks were elegantly styled in a chic bun.
Her boyfriend of nearly four years pulled up the rear in a casual ensemble featuring a gray suede jacket, a black shirt and matching pants.

The legendary hitmaker, 69, took over the red carpet with her boyfriend Rex Linn at the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas
The adorable pair led a cavalcade of stars at the glitzy event, including Jelly Roll, Miranda Lambert, Kelsea Ballerini and Lainey Wilson.
Reba serves as host of the ceremony that began streaming live from the Ford Center at The Star at 8pm ET on Amazon Prime Video and Twitch.
The red carpet outing comes after Reba’s new show Happy’s Place dropped it first trailer.
In it, the country crooner plays a character named Bobbie.
Per the show’s official description, ‘[Bobbie] inherits her father’s restaurant and is less than thrilled to discover that she has a new business partner in the half-sister she never knew she had.’
The multi-camera show will be executive produced by the multi-hyphenate alongside her old Reba crew Kevin Abbott, Michael Hanel, Mindy Schultheis, and Julie Abbott.
Happy’s Place is set to premieres sometime this Fall on NBC, taking the Fridays slot at 8/7c.
Between filming her multiple TV projects, Reba has been savoring her time with Rex.
The pair have been acquainted since 1991, but it wasn’t until 2020 that their relationship took a romantic turn.
The singer was previously married to Charlie Battles from 1976 to 1987 and her manager Narvel Blackstock from 1989 to 2015.
Following that, she dated Anthony ‘Skeeter’ Lasuzzo from 2017 to 2019.
After reconnecting with Linn following her mother’s passing and bonding during quarantine, Reba and Rex began dating, and they’ve been inseparable ever since.

In October 2023, Reba expressed her affection for Rex, telling People, ‘I love him with all my heart.’
She highlighted his supportiveness, recounting how he greets her at the garage after a long day, fixes her a drink if needed, and engages in comforting conversation.
In February 2024, she shared the romantic nature of her relationship with Rex, telling the outlet, ‘Every day feels like Valentine’s Day for us. We’re just silly, goofy people in our 60s who adore life and each other.’
The couple made their red carpet debut at the Country Music Awards three years ago.
