Reba McEntire’s belt at the Super Bowl held a special meaning

Reba McEntire Leaves Fans in Awe by Wearing ‘Very Special’ Belt Buckle for Her Super Bowl Performance

At the Super Bowl, Reba McEntire’s attire carried a heartfelt homage to her heritage, sparking admiration and nostalgia among fans. The country music icon’s decision to wear a piece of her family’s history has resonated deeply, stirring comments about legacy.

Country star Reba McEntire’s performance at the Super Bowl not only showcased her vocal prowess but also paid a heartfelt tribute to her late father, Clark McEntire, a revered figure in the rodeo world. Dressed in an eye-catching outfit, Reba adorned her belt with a special emblem—her father’s World Champion Steer Roper buckle.

The rest of Reba’s ensemble included black pants with floral print embellishments, a black top, and a light beige jacket. Fans quickly took notice of the singer, with social media buzzing about the sentimental accessory.

They posted comments such as “She’s wearing her Dad’s steer wrestling championship rodeo buckle ❤️,” and “Looked for your daddy’s belt buckle and your mom’s bracelet. You did an amazing job.” Another observed, “Very special belt buckle Reba is wearing 🖤,” while someone else specifically mentioned, “I loved [that] she was wearing her Dad’s 1961 World Champion Steer Roper belt buckle.”

Clark, who passed away in October 2014, was not just a rodeo champion but a symbol of cowboy authenticity, described by the doting mom as “a born and bred cowboy through and through.” His accomplishments in steer roping are well-documented, with his induction into the Rodeo Hall of Fame underscoring his significant contributions to the sport.

Beyond ranking fifth in the nation in steer roping by 1949, Reba McEntire’s late father won the RCA championship in steer roping in 1957, 1958, and 1961. He also claimed the IRA title in 1947.

After Reba McEntire took to the stage yesterday to perform the national anthem at the Super Bowl, fans and critics alike shared their opinions. While many tuned in to witness the artist’s rendition, the range of responses highlighted the diversity of viewers’ tastes and expectations.

Critiques and praises were equally vocal on platforms like X, where one user did not hold back about McEntire’s possible beauty enhancements impacting her performance, stating, “She can hardly sing through that plastic surgery. Got to bring back Stapleton that was the best I ever seen.” Another shared a similar sentiment, “Sorry, I love Reba but I thought she was horrible.” Some thought her performance was incredible and said it was how the national anthem should always be sung.

Yet, amidst the critiques, many of McEntire’s fans highlighted her expertise and composure. In support of her, a tweet read, “You can just tell that Reba is enjoying this moment and not stressed about how it lives up or if she’ll make a mistake. This is a pro.” Such supportive messages underline the admiration for McEntire’s professionalism and her stature in the music industry.

The conversation around the performance also included mentions of its duration, with some noting it as one of the “shortest” anthem performances in recent Super Bowl history—a point of contention that added to the spectrum of reactions.

While McEntire’s Super Bowl LVIII anthem was a moment to remember, it is not her “first rodeo” with national anthems. McEntire’s storied journey in music began long before, with a notable performance at the National Finals Rodeo 50 years ago. Music on X called McEntire and the Super Bowl a “match made in heaven,” to which McEntire replied, “Aww thanks.”
