Joining Strait on tour is one of the most successful and recognizable female country music voices, Reba McEntire.  Reba has sold more than 55 million records and has a total of 33 number 1 hits.  Like Strait, Reba has won several awards for her music including 15 American Music Awards, 12 ACM Awards, 9 People’s Choice Awards, 7 CMA Awards and 2 Grammy's.  Reba's current album, Keep On Loving You, debuted on the Billboard Top 200 chart and her current single off the album, "Consider Me Gone," is now on the top 10 on Billboard Country Singles.
