Country music icon Reba McEntire marked a major milestone—40 years since her debut at the Grand Ole Opry—with an unforgettable performance alongside contemporary superstar Carrie Underwood. Reba, known for timeless hits like “Can’t Even Get the Blues,” “I’m a Survivor,” and “I Don’t Wanna Be a One Night Stand,” invited Carrie to join her onstage for a stunning rendition of “Does He Love You.” Originally recorded by Reba and Linda Davis in 1993, the song tells the intense story of two women caught in a painful love triangle, grappling with jealousy and heartbreak.
The night opened with Reba’s rich, emotive voice carrying the first verse, earning warm applause before Carrie stepped into the spotlight with her powerful delivery. Their voices intertwined seamlessly, building to a soaring chorus filled with undeniable chemistry and vocal mastery. Reba’s proud smile as Carrie sang made clear this was more than just a duet—it was a celebration of country music’s rich legacy and its vibrant future.
“Does He Love You” captures the raw emotions of love, betrayal, and longing, and that night, Reba and Carrie brought every ounce of drama and passion to the stage. Their performance was a shared confession, a heartfelt exploration of the song’s powerful story that left the audience breathless.
Reba’s four decades at the Opry were further honored with special appearances by Dolly Parton and Vince Gill, underscoring the deep respect she commands in the country music world. After the show, Carrie shared her excitement on social media, calling the night a dream come true and celebrating the chance to be part of such a legendary milestone.
In 2021, Reba revisited “Does He Love You” with another iconic duet—this time with Dolly Parton—releasing a music video that reignited the song’s magic for fans old and new.
