Reba McEntire pays tribute to country queens Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn with ‘Opry 100’ performance
Reba McEntire opened the “Opry 100: A Live Celebration” by honoring her two country heroes; Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn.
The country star kicked off the March 19 show with an a cappella version of Cline’s “Sweet Dreams (Of You).”
“It’s an honor to be here celebrating 100 years of the Grand Ole Opry,” she said. “So many trailblazers paved the way for me to have the privilege of standing on this stage tonight, like two of my heroes, the great Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn.”
McEntire continued by performing a rendition of “You Ain’t Woman Enough” by Lynn.
She was then joined by Trisha Yearwood and the two country stars sang “The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia.” The song is by Vicki Lawrence, but was covered by McEntire in 1991.
NBC’s “Opry 100: A Live Celebration” is a three-hour live concert held at the Nashville concert hall to celebrate its 100th birthday.
Hosted by Blake Shelton, a slew of stars took the stage like Carrie Underwood, Post Malone, Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, Kelsea Ballerini and many more.
