The queen of country music just said “I do,” and the entire world is feeling the love. On July 11, 2025, Reba McEntire married longtime partner Rex Linn in what many are calling the most heartfelt wedding in country music history. After decades of navigating fame, loss, and resilience, Reba found not just romance—but real peace—with the man she now calls her forever.
Set on a sprawling private Tennessee ranch, the venue looked like something straight out of a country fairytale. Wildflowers lined the grassy aisle, cedarwood arches framed the open-sky altar, and vintage lanterns swayed from tree branches. Guests arrived in true southern style—on horseback, by hayride shuttles, and even in a classic red Ford pickup once driven by Reba’s late father.
But it was Blake Shelton who delivered one of the most emotional moments of the day. A longtime friend and mentee of Reba, he walked her down the aisle in a slate-gray cowboy tux, tears in his eyes. Leaning in before handing her over to Rex, he was overheard saying, “You’re not losing yourself today. You’re gaining someone who already worships the ground you sing on.”
Reba, radiant and regal, wore a custom ivory lace gown with hand-beaded fringe, a sweeping train, and her trademark red curls cascading freely. Her bouquet held bluebonnets, honoring her Texas roots, and yellow roses for her mother. Her veil? A personal gift from Dolly Parton, stitched with the words: “Love deserves a second song.”
The guest list read like a Country Music Hall of Fame roster. Carrie Underwood, Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood, Lainey Wilson, Chris Stapleton, and even the full cast of Young Sheldon joined the festivities. Performances throughout the evening included Carrie’s soaring rendition of “Look at Me” during the candle-lighting and Miranda Lambert debuting a brand-new ballad penned for Reba herself.
But the most anticipated performance came later—when Reba and Rex, for the first time ever, took the mic together at the reception. Their surprise duet, reportedly a blend of classic country and gospel, left even the most seasoned stars in tears. Fans are already begging for an official studio release.
Just before the ceremony, Reba was overheard speaking quietly to herself. A guest caught the moment and shared it online: “I’ve had fame. I’ve had heartbreak. I’ve had fire. But I’ve never had peace like this. He is my peace.”
As the sun set and fireflies lit the skies over the ranch, the couple shared their first dance under twinkling string lights. And for a woman who’s spent her life giving the world her voice, Reba McEntire finally found someone to echo it back with love.
The first photos and behind-the-scenes clips are already flooding social media under #RebaAndRex, and if this night proved anything—it’s that sometimes, the best love stories really do come with boots, banjos, and second chances.
