Reba McEntire just celebrated her 70th birthday, but instead of reminiscing about the past, she’s looking at the future—specifically, a possible retirement in another two decades! That’s right, folks, she could hang up her boots at the ripe old age of 90. Who knew the country music star had her sights set on entering her golden years with a bang? In a recent interview, she mused about retirement while reflecting on conversations with none other than Dolly Parton. Apparently, they both had a good chuckle about the whole idea. Why would you retire when you’re doing what you love?
Despite hitting this milestone age, Reba shows no signs of slowing down. She’s still keeping busy as a coach on The Voice and prepping for the second season of her sitcom, Happy’s Place. Talk about hustle! Just when you think she might take a breather, she hosted the 60th Academy of Country Music Awards earlier this year—marking her 18th time taking the reins for this prestigious event. If anyone can teach us about working hard and loving every minute, it’s Reba.
So, as Reba gears up for what lies ahead, it begs the question: what do we all want in our later years? Do we see ourselves continuing to work well into our 80s, just in case we have a spark of joy left? Or are we dreaming of cozy afternoons on the porch? Share your thoughts, and let’s find out if the world is ready for more Reba or just a whole lot of retirement dreams!
