Reba McEntire Looks Back on THAT CMA Awards Red Dress

The red dress first appeared during the 1993 CMA Awards. McEntire wore it while singing a duet of the song “Does He Love You?” with Linda Davis. She drew a large ovation from fans Sunday night, when she brought it back for a duet of the same song with Kelly Clarkson, her daughter-in-law.

Though relatively tame by today’s standards, the dress drew an overwhelming amount of attention in 1993 for its sequins and plunging neckline. McEntire ended up on the front page of The Tennessean and said she’d received “more press off that dress than if I’d won entertainer of the year.”
