Country legend Reba McEntire just lit up the internet with a major double announcement: she’s returning to host the 2024 ACM Awards for the 17th time AND she’ll debut brand-new music live during the show!

“I am tickled to pieces!” Reba gushed, thrilled to continue her reign as the most frequent ACM host ever — beating out even Dolly and Garth.

The 69-year-old icon teased fans on Instagram, writing: “Oh hey @ACMawards, have you missed me?” Spoiler: YES, they have. The comments section exploded with love for the queen of country.

The ACM Awards stream live on May 16 via Prime Video — and between Reba’s return and her new music reveal, this one’s shaping up to be an unmissable country showdown.
