Country superstar Reba McEntire’s family considers her not a star, but a ‘twinkle’!
Not a Star, Just a “Twinkle” Woh!
The world considers her the queen of country music, but to her sister Alice, she’s still the girl who received a special gift for Christmas – a toilet seat cover with ‘The Twinkle’ written on it.
Meaning, you’re not a star, just a little twinkle. Reba McEntire says her family has supported her with such love.
Journey from Rodeo Cowgirl to Superstar
50 years ago, in 1976, Reba signed her first record deal. Today, she holds a record of 75 million albums, 24 number one hits, and 3 Grammys.
But success never got to her head. She says, “I was a rodeo cowgirl.
Getting into the music business was scary, but I made great friends.”
She never imagined she would become such a big star. “I thought I’d get everything, including a tour bus and money, as soon as I signed a record deal!
But my first tour bus broke down every day. Before that, I used to travel in a horse trailer!”
Gives this advice to new stars
Today, she shares the same profound insight with The Voice contestants.
“I tell them, ‘Do you want to make a career out of this? Because it’s a lot of hard work.
It takes time to become a star.'” She says this profession requires a lot of sacrifice and commitment.
What’s the plan now? Retire? No!
Today, at 70, Reba calls herself “deliriously happy.” She wants to enjoy life with her fiancé, Rex Linn.
Season 2 of her new show, “Happy’s Place,” is coming out, and she wants to continue.
Will she retire? Reba says, “Dolly Parton told me, ‘Why should I retire? You can’t find as much fun anywhere else as I do.’
I totally agree with her. Maybe slow down a bit, but retire? Absolutely not!”
For them, this is the time to be happy, take on new projects, and be a Twinkle in the love of their families. Because that’s where life really is, isn’t it?
