Country music legend Reba McEntire just dropped some major news — and fans across the U.S. are loving it.

The 69-year-old superstar is set to return as host of the Academy of Country Music Awards for a record-breaking 17th time, making her the most frequent host in the show’s history.

While icons like Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks have taken the stage before, there’s just something special about a Reba-hosted show.

“I am tickled to pieces to get to host the ACM Awards for the 17th time!” Reba said in a statement. “What an honor to be part of the past, present, and now the future of the Academy of Country Music with Amazon Prime Video. I can’t wait to get to Texas and see everybody on May 16th!”

ACM CEO Damon Whiteside praised the choice, saying, “No one has a deeper or richer history with the Academy than Reba. With new music on the way, a strong TV presence, and fans around the world, Reba’s back and better than ever!”

And the surprises don’t stop there…

Reba also announced on Instagram that she’ll be performing brand-new music during the show. “Oh hey @ACMawards, have you missed me?” she teased. “I can’t wait to host this year’s Academy of Country Music Awards… I’ll also be performing brand-new music during the show!”

Fans couldn’t contain their excitement in the comments:

“I’m sorry, NEW music?!???!?!”

“Yes @reba… we’ve missed seeing you host! You are the best!!! Thank you @acmawards for bringing back our Queen!!”

The 2024 ACM Awards will stream live on Amazon Prime Video on May 16, so save the date — because Reba’s making it a night you won’t want to miss.
