- Reba McEntire is a country legend in her own right
- She was accused of bad-mouthing Taylor Swift online
- Reba was quick to cut the controversy
Amidst claims of a clash, McEntire praises Swift's artistry and role model status, proving once again that not all that glitters on the internet is gold.
Reba and Taylor are not enemies!
Country legend Reba McEntire has officially shut down the rumor mill! After a Facebook group's post went viral, claiming McEntire threw shade at Taylor Swift during the 2024 Super Bowl, the "Fancy" singer took to Instagram with a sassy rebuttal that's got fans cheering!
A Facebook group, America Loves Liberty, stirred up a storm with a post that had everyone talking. They claimed McEntire was "disappointed" seeing Swift "laughing and drinking" on the big screen during her patriotic performance. But Reba's response? Pure class.
"I did not say this. Taylor is a wonderful artist," she wrote, dismissing the drama with the grace of a true southern belle.
Despite the claim, snapshots from the Super Bowl show Swift, standing respectfully with her BFF Blake Lively, hand over heart. The "Bejeweled" singer was there to cheer on her beau, Travis Kelce, and she wasn't about to let rumors ruin the big day.
Fans and internet sleuths were quick to call out the fake news, pointing out misspellings and the absurdity of the allegations. "They spelled your name McIntire. So made up story AND a lazy proofreader," laughed one fan. Reba's followers know she's all about class and wouldn't engage in such pettiness.
McEntire, ever the jokester, had previously teased about being "jealous" of Swift's relationship with Kelce in a lighthearted interview. But don't worry, folks—Reba's happily in love with her own man, Rex Linn.

In a twist, the controversial group later claimed their post was just satire. "Our fans were staunchly on your side long before this post," they backpedaled. But the damage was done, and Reba had already won the internet with her truth-telling post.
