Reba McEntire performed the National Anthem at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas on Thursday, Dec. 14, which was aired on CBS Sports Network. McEntire’s steer roping-champion father suggested McEntire sing the “Star Spangled Banner” at the 1974 National Finals Rodeo in Oklahoma City, which set her superstar status in motion.

McEntire expressed her excitement to fans on her Facebook page Thursday (Dec. 13) with a photo captioned, “Can’t wait to be back at the National Finals Rodeo tomorrow night to sing the National Anthem! I was discovered there back in 1974 and I’m honored to return as part of Justin Boots night.”
