In a post on Instagram, Reba McEntire wrote, “Long or short, either way I love being a redhead! #NationalRedheadDay.” It’s no secret that McEntire is incredibly fond of her auburn locks — she has even recorded a song, “Redhead,” dedicated to her hair. The self-referencing track, which Reba performs with fellow country singer Caylee Hammack, includes the line, “They raised a little hell when they raised a little redhead.” And raise a little hell she did. Many commenters were quick to shower Reba with love, but some didn’t appreciate where her priorities were.
Comments ranged from “Read the room, Reba” to “Today is Election Day! We got better things to discuss.” Even though most were happy to share their fondness for the “Just Like Them Horses” singer, others still went on to say, “Ma’am … not today.” Although, to be fair, we can’t blame anyone for needing a distraction during this past election cycle. And it’s always nice to see Reba McEntire not trying to hide her natural hair.
