Reba McEntire Fans Call Out Country Star for Perplexing Message on Election Day

Many celebrities issued political messages leading up to the 2024 election, but Reba McEntire was not one of them. On Election Day, however, the country star issued a perplexing statement that left fans all saying the same thing.

On Tuesday, Nov. 5, McEntire, 69, took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a photo of her new hairstyle.

The update included a side-by-side look at her signature red locks—with the photo on the left showing her sporting a longer ‘do and the image on the right revealing a much shorter style.

“Long or short, either way I love being a redhead! #NationalRedheadDay,” McEntire captioned the Election Day post.

In the comments, fans of the “Consider Me Gone” songstress suggested that it wasn’t the best day to focus on hair, though many were kind—but firm—with their responses.

One X user wrote, “Read the room Reba,” while another echoed, “love it god mother we’ll talk about it tomorrow.”

A different fan commented, “Reba, you know what we’re not going to do today? We’re not going to talk about your hairstyle.”

Someone else replied, “Now Reba baby I love you, but today ain’t it.”

Meanwhile, others were more heated, like one who declared, “Reba this is not the f–king time!”

A second incredulously exclaimed, “really?!?!? right now?” while someone else pointed out, “We’re a little busy right now, Reba.”

Still, others managed to make McEntire’s decidedly non-political post about politics.

“You got that right, red, red right down the ballot!” a Donald Trump supporter quipped, as a Kamala Harris voter commented, “We will celebrate redheads tomorrow. It’s only blue heads today!!!”

Through the years, McEntire has avoided endorsing a political candidate, as she reminded fans in 2021.

“Last night, an invitation to a political fundraiser with my name attached was sent out without my knowledge or permission,” she wrote via X. “I had and have no plans to attend this event and had told the event organizers as such.”

McEntire added, “Throughout my career, I have stated that I do not get involved in politics and that remains true today.”
