Reba McEntire Brought to Tears After Emotional Surprise from Her Son
The star celebrated her 70th birthday on March 28.
Reba McEntire just celebrated a huge personal milestone—turning 70! The country legend marked another year around the sun this March and let’s just say her friends and family sure know how to throw a celebration.

Even on her birthday, Reba didn’t take the day off. Instead, she spent it with fans while on tour in Connecticut. That didn’t stop her family from organizing a special surprise that had the “Fancy” singer in tears. Luckily for us, she shared the precious moment with her followers on social media.
The crowd helped ring in the star’s 70th with a spirited singalong and a card stunt that spelled out “Happy Birthday” among the fans. But the best part? Seeing her reaction to boyfriend Rex Linn pushing out her birthday cake on stage.
She quickly embraced him and said “Thank y’all very much. To get to be here with y’all, my friends, people I am so blessed to get to work with. Oh, and Rex Linn, I just love you with all my heart.” Little did she know, this wasn’t the only birthday surprise of the day!

Reba’s son, Shelby Blackstock, and his wife Marissa, helped organize part of the birthday surprise and successfully caught the singer off guard after telling her they wouldn’t be able to attend her show. “She had NO idea we were coming!!!,” the couple wrote in a joint Instagram post.
Throughout the entire show, Reba had no idea her son and daughter-in-law were in the crowd.
Even backstage, it took a moment for Reba to finally notice them, but needless to say, her reaction to seeing them was absolutely priceless and she instantly got emotional.

Fans loved the touching moment and left comments like, “Awww her reaction to you guys, made me cry ❤️” and “Why did her crying make me cry?! What a fun surprise!! 😍.”
Happy birthday, Reba! Here’s to many more!
