The well-known singer, who has served as the event’s emcee on multiple occasions in the past, including 2019 and last year, was present to conduct the ceremony in Fresco, Texas.
The 69-year-old is obviously skilled at this stage, and it was abundantly evident from her opening monologue that she would be performing at her best once more. Indeed, Reba’s hosting abilities were well-received by viewers at home, who also had nothing but great things to say about her red carpet ensemble.
According to reports, McEntire wore a black sequined blazer and flared Roberto Cavalli pants with lace detailing when she walked the red carpet. She accessorized her evening ensemble with turquoise pieces, such as chandelier earrings and a necklace.
Naturally, Reba’s ensemble generated a wide range of comments on the internet. The singer is well-known outside of the US and was greeted by throngs of fans following the 2024 ACM Awards. She sang the “Star Spangled Banner” at this year’s Super Bowl.
“Absolutely stunning as usual Reba,” one person wrote.
Another said: “You are amazing at what you do. But it’s also important to mention how amazing you look.“
“She is one gorgeous woman,” opined a third.

Not only was her appearance impressive, but her innate ability to host also left an impression on people. As previously said, McEntire hosted the ceremony for the 17th time this year, but her connection to the ACM Awards dates back more than 40 years to the moment she won her very first trophy.
Reba made a point of mentioning it when she joked that Jelly Roll, which was formerly the name of an after-school snack (relating to the award-nominated country music performer Jelly Roll), was actually the way she used to get to school rather than a well-known country music festival.
It didn’t take long for spectators to voice their thoughts about Reba’s efforts.
One fan on X commented, “Having Reba host this year’s show is like having your favorite aunt come over for dinner.” “She’s very charming, and you enjoy hearing from her.”
The celebrity “is just an absolutely incredible entertainer, country music is lucky to have her,” another person said.
A fourth said, “It’s always a party and a good time.”
Five people referred to McEntire as “the ultimate host.”
