Reba Is Not The First Person In Her Family To Perform At Madison Square Garden

Reba McEntire recently wrapped her “Reba: Live In Concert” tour at Madison Square Garden.

During an interview with Willie Geist of “Today”, she was asked what the experience was like.

“I went in [thinking], ‘It’s just another arena’ because it holds such history for me and my family. Grandpap roped there during the rodeo in the ’30s, daddy roped there during the rodeo in the ’40s, and it felt like they were with us there at Madison Square Garden Saturday night.”

So technically Reba is NOT the first McEntire to perform at the Garden.

Even though her dad and “grandpap” competed, there was an audience.

Her grandfather, John Wesley, was a world-champion steer roper in 1934, and her dad, Clark, held the same title three times in 1957, 1958, and 1961.’
