Reba McEntire brought faith, passion, and powerhouse vocals to the 2017 ACM Awards with a breathtaking performance of “Back to God.”
Before she took the stage, country legend Ronnie Dunn introduced her with heartfelt words, calling her the “Queen of Country Music” and emphasizing the deep roots of gospel in country music. And when Reba stepped into the spotlight, she proved exactly why she holds that title.
Joining her was award-winning Christian singer Lauren Daigle, whose stunning vocals blended beautifully with Reba’s signature sound. The two delivered a powerful rendition of the spiritual ballad, filling the arena with emotion and leaving the audience spellbound.
Both artists looked radiant—Daigle in a striking red gown and McEntire in an elegant beige dress—but it was their voices and the song’s uplifting message that truly stole the show. Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, and the entire crowd swayed along, completely immersed in the moment. By the final note, Reba was visibly emotional, wiping away tears as the audience erupted into a standing ovation.
“Back to God” is the lead single from Reba’s debut gospel album, Sing It Now: Songs of Faith & Hope, which topped both the country and Christian charts. Meanwhile, the country icon has been keeping busy, currently filming her upcoming ABC drama series, where she plays a small-town sheriff named Ruby Adair.
It was a night of faith, music, and unforgettable talent—one that fans won’t soon forget. 🎶✨
