“I’m A huge Cher fan,” she said of her fellow Kennedy Center honoree. “Wouldn’t that be fun, wouldn’t that be fun.”
She continued, “You know there are people you want to go work with, you know like Pink, Bruno Mars, that might be two things you never think of, but Dolly Parton and Cher, of course.”
Reba also talked about her brand new album out next Friday (4/5) Strong Than The Truth explaining, “It’s more country. It’s the kind of songs I grew up singing.”
