Country music star Reba McEntire has refuted a false social media post that circulated claiming she had issues with Taylor Swift's behavior during her performance at the 2024 Super Bowl. The post alleged that McEntire was disappointed to see Swift laughing and drinking during her rendition of The National Anthem, which McEntire vehemently denied.
McEntire took to Instagram to set the record straight, emphasizing that the claims were untrue and praising Swift as a talented artist and role model. The post in question was shared by a Facebook page called America Loves Liberty.
During Super Bowl LVIII, McEntire delivered a powerful performance of the national anthem, while Swift was in attendance to support her boyfriend, Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs emerged victorious with a 25-22 win over the San Francisco 49ers at Allegiant Stadium in Nevada on Feb. 11.
Other artists who graced the event with their performances included Post Malone, who sang 'America the Beautiful,' Andra Day, who performed 'Lift Every Voice and Sing,' and Usher, who brought high-energy and surprise guests during the halftime show.
McEntire has been a longtime admirer of Swift, recognizing her star potential when she first saw her perform 'Tim McGraw' in front of the country music icon himself. Despite teasing Swift about her relationship with Kelce in the past, McEntire has always held a deep respect for the young artist.
It is essential to verify information before believing everything seen on the internet, as demonstrated by McEntire's response to the misleading post. The incident serves as a reminder to exercise caution and critical thinking when consuming content online.
