Reba McEntire gets ready for the CMA Awards… after revealing she turned down a spot on The Voice

She’s set to co-host the 54th annual 2020 CMA Awards with Darius Rucker.

And hours before the show’s kick-off, Reba MeEntire took part in a playful TikTok video on her makeup artist BrettGlam’s account.

The 65-year-old country singing legend started off makeup free and ended the clip looking gorgeous and glam.

Reba reposted it on her Instagram and captioned it: ‘It’s CMA game day baby!!! #pregameglamcna #cma @cma @brettglam @dariusrucker #countrymusic #girlsinger.’

Reba and Darius are hosting the CMA Awards on Wednesday, November 11; this is Reba’s fifth year as host but Darius’ first time as an emcee.

While on Tuesday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live, Reba revealed that she turned down a judging role on The Voice prior to the show’s debut a decade prior, via People.

She said that the rumors that she turned it down are ‘very true.’

She explained: ‘It was a very popular show in Holland and I watched the tape.’

‘I said, “No, I’m gonna pass on that because I don’t think I’ll ever be able to tell somebody that they’re terrible or to go find another job or hope you like your nighttime job.”‘

Adding: ‘I couldn’t do that. day in and day out. So I did pass on it.’ 

Reba called Blake Shelton ‘the perfect choice’ and noted that he has ‘done a wonderful job.’

On if she regrets it, she said: ‘Oh sure! I mean, after you see a very successful show that’s been running, what, 15 years? Uh, yeah! I’m like, “Shoot I should’ve done that.”‘ 

Last year, Blake did dish that the show originally wanted Reba at his Ole Red bar in Nashville, according to Taste of Country: ‘They knew they wanted a country artist to be a coach on The Voice to fill that lane. For whatever reason, she couldn’t do it, or they just decided it wasn’t the thing for her at the time.’ 

The Voice is in its 19th season and he has appeared in every season.
