Reba McEntire to co-headline Music City Rodeo
For lifelong rodeo cowgirl McEntire, the “Fancy” vocalist has often noted that performing the National Anthem at the 1974 National Finals Rodeo launched her mainstream country music career.
“The rodeo is in my blood. My daddy and grandpap were world-champion steer ropers. I dreamed of being a barrel racer, but I wasn’t that great at it,” McEntire told The Tennessean, part of the USA TODAY network. “Instead, I found my place singing at the rodeo. … Being a part of this historic event in Nashville feels like coming full circle.”
McEntire’s fellow headliner Jelly Roll, a Nashville native, said having a role in Music City Rodeo’s debut “felt like a chance to be a part of a history-making event for the city.”
Joining McEntire and Jelly Roll is country icon McGraw. Over the past three decades, the “Don’t Take the Girl” singer has played at nearly two dozen rodeo events nationwide.
“Country music and rodeo go hand in hand,” McGraw said, adding that it “was time to bring the magic of the rodeo home to Nashville.”
