Reba McEntire recently gave us a treat by revealing a sneak peek of her unreleased single during an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show on May 2, 2024. In her conversation with host and fellow artist Jennifer Hudson, Reba confirmed the exciting news: she has a new album coming soon. Fans can hardly wait for the release, especially after seeing the sneak peek on Hudson’s Instagram, with comments like ‘whole body chills’ showering in.
It wasn’t just talk during Reba’s visit to Hudson’s show. The two powerhouses delivered a surprise duet of ‘I’m a Survivor’, the iconic theme song from McEntire’s long-running sitcom Reba. The nostalgia hit hard for audiences as both singers connected deeply with the song. As Reba put it, I think the reason why so many people can connect with the song ‘I’m a Survivor’ is because it’s relatable. If people can relate to it, they can connect to it. And I’m a survivor – I mean, a woman who is working hard doing two jobs and raising kids.
During this engaging conversation, Reba also revealed details about her potential return to TV with a new sitcom called Happy’s Place. This exciting project has already shot its pilot for NBC, where Reba stars as Bobbie, who inherits her father’s restaurant and discovers she has a new business partner in her half-sister, played by Belissa Escobedo. Another familiar face is Melissa Peterman from Reba, playing Gabby, the restaurant’s bartender.
