NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Queen of Country is saddling up for her grandest rodeo yet. Reba McEntire, the fiery-haired force behind 75 million albums sold and a Broadway run that could melt steel, just lassoed the announcement of her 2026 World Tour—a globe-trotting juggernaut hitting 30 cities from June through October. But this ain’t your grandma’s nostalgia trip; Reba’s promising surprise duets with Dolly Parton, Blake Shelton, and Carrie Underwood at select shows, turning arenas into intergenerational jam sessions that could rewrite country lore. With early VIP passes starting at $399—packing meet-and-greets and exclusive merch like custom Stetson hats etched with tour dates—the legend herself quipped during a sunlit reveal from her Oklahoma ranch: “Honey, at my age, history ain’t made sittin’ still. We’re hittin’ the road, bringin’ the icons, and leavin’ boot prints on every continent.”

Filmed against a backdrop of rolling hills and her prized horses, the 10-minute video dropped like a thunderclap on Reba’s socials yesterday, racking up 5 million views in hours. “Y’all, I’ve sung for presidents, roped steers, and survived Broadway in heels,” Reba drawled, her trademark sparkle undimmed at 70. “But sharin’ the stage with Dolly’s wit, Blake’s growl, and Carrie’s fire? That’s the encore we all deserve. This tour’s a family reunion—with better acoustics.” The 30-date slate spans North America, Europe, Australia, and a splash in Asia, kicking off June 5 at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena (fittingly) and wrapping October 28 at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena. Stops include heavy-hitters like New York’s Madison Square Garden (June 12), London’s O2 (July 18), Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena (August 3), and Tokyo’s Budokan (September 15)—Reba’s first Japan bow since her 1990s heyday.

The surprise duets are the tour’s secret sauce, teased but tantalizingly vague. Dolly Parton—Reba’s “sister in sequins”—is slated for five U.S. dates, potentially reprising their 2023 CMA “9 to 5” mashup with “Fancy” for a labor-of-love medley. Blake Shelton, fresh off his Luke Bryan co-headline stint, joins for four Southern swings, where fans can expect a rowdy “Hillbilly Bone” reboot laced with Reba’s “Why Haven’t I Heard From You.” Carrie Underwood, the “Cry Pretty” powerhouse Reba mentored on Idol, hits three crossovers, blending “Before He Cheats” with Reba’s “The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter” in a ballad bonanza. “No spoilers, darlin’s—just show up, ’cause you never know when the queens’ll crash the party,” Reba winked. Production hints at rotating LED backdrops morphing into Parton’s Dollywood or Shelton’s ranch, with drone swarms spelling out lyrics mid-air.

For diehards, the VIP “Queen’s Court” passes at $399 are the crown jewels. Snag one, and you’re in for:

Pre-show meet-and-greet (20 minutes with Reba, photo op included—yes, she hugs like a grandma who lifts tractors)
Exclusive merch bundle: A tour program signed by all guests (Dolly’s glitter pen confirmed), a crystal-embellished denim jacket ($150 value), and a limited-edition “Reba Red” wine bottle from her Oklahoma vineyard collab
Priority seating in the first 10 rows, plus lounge access with Southern comfort bites (think mini cornbread muffins and pimento cheese)
Digital keepsake: A personalized video from Reba post-show, shouting out your name during the encore

Presales for fan club members (Reba’s “Opry Trust” loyalists) launch tomorrow at 10 a.m. ET via Ticketmaster and Reba.com, with general onsale November 19. Base tickets start at $89 for upper decks, climbing to $249 for floor seats—but VIPs are already 40% claimed, per a Live Nation insider. “We’ve got waitlists forming in Tokyo before breakfast,” the source laughed. “Reba’s not just touring; she’s terraforming country music globally.”

The digital dust-up? Cataclysmic. #RebaWorldTour2026 exploded to No. 1 worldwide, with 3.2 million mentions in 24 hours. TikToks of fans recreating Reba’s “Fancy” vogue in thrift-store gowns hit 15M views, while X threads dissected dream setlists: “Dolly + Reba on ‘I Will Always Love You’? I’d mortgage my trailer,” posted @RedDirtRoyalty, netting 8K likes. Blake Shelton hopped in with a video of him “rehearsing” by yodeling badly to Reba’s “Whoever’s in New England,” captioning: “Aunt Reba, save me a duet slot—I’ll bring the bad jokes.” Carrie Underwood shared a throwback Idol clip, adding: “From judging your runs to harmonizing? Full circle, Queen.” Even skeptics swooned: “At 70? Reba’s outpacing us all. Take my money,” tweeted @AgingOutlaw.

This tour slots into Reba’s renaissance like a well-worn boot. Fresh off her 2023 ACM Entertainer of the Year (her third), a Las Vegas residency extension, and a teased gospel album, she’s the elder stateswoman schooling a new guard—think Lainey Wilson opening select dates. Historically, Reba’s tours are goldmines: Her 2015 “Gonna Be Oklahoma” run grossed $40M; projections peg 2026 at $120M+, per Pollstar, buoyed by international legs where country’s exploding (Europe’s C2C fest drew 80K last year). “We’re not just playin’ songs,” Reba told Billboard. “We’re tellin’ stories—of heartbreak, hustle, and hallelujahs. With Dolly, Blake, Carrie? It’s therapy with twang.”

Logistics? A beast tamed by pros. Each city gets localized flair: Nashville’s opener features a Grand Ole Opry tribute with Vince Gill walk-on potential; London’s set nods to British country acts like The Shires. Crew of 150 hauls 18 semis of gear, including Reba’s iconic rotating dress rack (sequins for days). And philanthropy? 5% of proceeds fund her Reba’s Ranch cancer support, with VIP auctions of duet-used mics.

Backlash? Minimal—save pricing gripes (“$399 for merch? That’s a used truck,” griped one X user)—but Reba clapped back: “Value’s in the memories, sugar. Can’t put a price on that sparkle.” Resale vultures are circling, with StubHub flipping Nashville VIPs at $750 already.

As the countdown ticks, one truth blazes: Reba McEntire isn’t fading; she’s forging ahead, icons in tow. From Oklahoma dust to Sydney harbors, 2026’s her canvas—and country’s about to get a masterpiece. “The legend’s back,” she signed off the video, blowing a kiss. “And honey, we’re just gettin’ started.”
