Reba McEntire says a widely circulated social media post about her and Taylor Swift is not true.

“Taylor is a wonderful artist, strong role model and has done so much good for so many people and the music industry,” she added.

Kelly Clarkson Says Reba McEntire Gave Her the Idea for Taylor Swift to Re-Record Her Songs
McEntire has been a longtime fan of Swift’s ever since she first hit the music scene almost two decades ago.
During a December 2023 interview with NBC’s TikTok, McEntire said she first knew Swift would be a star when she saw the Midnights artist perform her song “Tim McGraw” from her debut self-titled album in front of the musician himself.
“[Taylor] walked down the steps looking right at Tim McGraw singing, and I’m like, ‘This girl’s gonna be a huge star,’ ” McEntire said at the time. “Number one: to walk, sing, walk downstairs at your icon that you’re really wanting to sing to and impress without a flaw. I mean, I was impressed.”
The “I’m a Survivor” singer previously teased Swift for her relationship with Kelce, 34, in October 2023, telling TODAY.com that she was upset because she herself had a crush on the NFL star.
“Oh, my gosh, I am so mad at her because I had a crush on him,” McEntire said, adding: “Now I can’t have a crush anymore because he’s dating her. I was so devastated.”
