She made her Grand Ole Opry debut in ’77. She drove all the way to Nashville for the show, but the security guard there said her name wasn’t on the guest list. She argued with him, insisting that she couldn’t miss her performance under any circumstances. Thankfully, she made it in time after he located her name and let her in.

After Reba achieved her first number-one single on the Billboard charts in 1983, she decided to leave Mercury Records. She left her former record label for MCA Nashville Records because she felt pressured to perform more country-pop ballads, which she found uninteresting.
