During the most recent Super Bowl, held at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, country music icon Reba McEntire found herself at the center of a playful trolling incident courtesy of rapper T-Pain. The friendly banter began when McEntire shared two photos of herself on social media, showcasing her signature red bob and wearing an oversized, cerulean fur coat paired with jeans and blue cowboy boots. Her caption playfully referenced lyrics from Flo Rida's hit song 'Low,' which features vocals by T-Pain.
'Boots with the fur…#SuperBowlLVIII ready!' McEntire posted, poking fun at the popular song despite her lack of actual fur boots in the photos.
T-Pain, known for his sense of humor, couldn't resist joining in on the fun. He quote-tweeted McEntire's post with another line from 'Low': 'The whole club lookin at herrrrrrrrr.' McEntire playfully responded with a gif of herself pointing at T-Pain.
While the country legend enjoyed the lighthearted exchange, she had other important matters to attend to at the Super Bowl. McEntire took the stage to deliver a powerful rendition of the national anthem, wearing a tan blazer, black shirt, beaded fringe jeans, and a strikingly large belt buckle. Her performance captivated the audience, with shots of the stadium's fireworks and emotional reactions from players, including last year's champions, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.
McEntire was not the only artist to contribute to the Super Bowl's musical extravaganza. Post Malone performed 'America the Beautiful,' and Andra Day delivered a moving rendition of 'Lift Every Voice and Sing.' During the halftime show, Usher stole the spotlight with his energetic performance.
In an interview with PEOPLE prior to her Super Bowl appearance, McEntire expressed her excitement about performing 'The Star-Spangled Banner.' The Grammy-winning artist emphasized that her role was not about personal recognition but rather about honoring those who have worked tirelessly to protect freedom and promote peace.
'My job is to bring the patriotism,' McEntire said. 'It's not about me. I'm just the conduit and the water hose who gets to sing the song.'
The playful exchange between Reba McEntire and T-Pain added an extra layer of entertainment to the Super Bowl festivities. McEntire's heartfelt performance of the national anthem, combined with the musical talents of other artists, created a memorable experience for both stadium attendees and millions of viewers around the world.
