As Reba McEntire gears up for her 17th time hosting the Academy of Country Music Awards at Texas’ Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, she reveals her backstage essentials. While some performers might have elaborate requests on their rider, McEntire keeps it refreshingly simple.
For the “Queen of Country,” the most crucial item is water to keep her throat hydrated during the event. Additionally, McEntire insists on having a trash can, tissues, a clock, and snacks backstage. With her energetic hosting style, she emphasizes the importance of maintaining stable blood sugar levels to avoid feeling “hangry” on stage.
McEntire’s return as host for the ACM Awards, dubbed the genre’s “Party of the Year,” has generated excitement in the country music world. Her enthusiasm for being part of the event’s past, present, and future is palpable, underscoring her enduring connection to the ACMs.
Fans can anticipate not only McEntire’s hosting prowess but also her performance of new music at the ceremony. With her recent Super Bowl national anthem performance marking a memorable moment, McEntire’s return to the ACMs promises to be another highlight in her illustrious career.
