LifeZette: Country music star Reba McEntire gave a lasting lesson to other entertainers on Wednesday’s episode of “The View.”
The musician and actress was asked about entertainers preaching politics from public stages and how her audience might react if she followed suit.
“My fans would be shocked,” the Grammy winner said. “I take it this way: They have paid their hard-earned money to come in there and fill a seat — parking, getting something at the concession stand, go and eat before the concert. [And] I am there to entertain them, to take their worries away from them, so when they walk out, they can kind of have a little lift in their step and go, ‘Aw, that was such a great break from all the problems I have to deal with during daily life.’ So I’m not going to give them my political views.”
McEntire’s words are refreshing as more and more entertainers exploit their public stages to make political points. Rapper Drake just went on an anti-Trump rant at a concert — and everybody remembers the Golden Globes and Meryl Streep’s hogging of the spotlight. MORE
I bet that got Woopies, Godzilla’s Secrets, in a twist
glad that someone keeps their thoughts to themselves about politics unlike most of them…

She’s definitely a Trump supporter as is most of Country western. Duane Johnson, The Rock, has always been a conservative. Until yesterday. Scratch him off the list now.
A classy lady. I always got the sense that she’s a sensible and grounded person who keeps her (well deserved) success in perspective.
Plus I loved her in TREMORS. She handled all that hardware with familiar affection.
Does he have a Green Card Frankly? Throw his sorry A$$ over the wall.
I don’t know her politics, but a friend of mine did some work at her house in CA and he said she was very sweet.
And that accent is real. lol
What did the rock do? I missed that.
Good on her, I like the fact that she thinks about how tough it is for the average fan to shell out for all and sundry to see an artist they like.
Not that much into her, but I nod in respect.
A woman with intellect is a thing to admire.
Not all country entertainers are conservative. Look at that limp wrist Garth Brooks Obama’s buddy, and anti-gun Tim McGraw!
Reba has always been a classy lady and if she doesn’t want to share her political views GOOD FOR HER!
Yep, there are a few real entertainers left
out there that love their people and KNOW where
the money comes from.
Good on her!
