Jacqueline, Reba’s mom, wanted to be a country singer but settled for a career in education. Both of her forebears were professional rodeo steer ropers. Her dad eventually won three titles as a world-champion steer roper.

Her father competed in rodeos, so the family took to the road frequently, and it was common for them to break into song during their travels. Reba’s mother influenced her daughter’s early musical development by exposing her to country music and encouraging her to express herself through song. Soon after, Reba was a regular at local theater productions, rodeos, and even the high school graduation ceremony, and the kids became known as “The Singing McEntires.”
