Kelsea Ballerini and Reba McEntire share the love
‘We’re not in competition, she wins everything’ – Ballerini
During the 80s Reba McEntire won the prestigious CMA Female Vocalist of the Year award four years in a row and Kelsea Ballerini considers it an honour to be included among this year’s nominees which also include, Maren Morris, Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood.
‘I always say, award shows are like a snapshot of country music right then, and to be in a snapshot of country music with Reba and Carrie Underwood, that’s never going to be casual’ said Ballerini.
McEntire was also commenting back stage during CMA rehearsals about her excitement to share the stage with Ballerini on a new live version of Ballerini’s hit ‘Legends’.
‘We’ve gotten to meet, and I think she’s a terrific young lady, very talented singer-songwriter, and I love the song. I hope everybody likes our performance as much as I’m going to enjoy getting to sing it with her.’
