NASHVILLE, TN — In an announcement that has shaken the entire country music world, Reba McEntire has officially confirmed her 2026 “One Final Drive” Farewell Tour, marking the beginning of what will be her final journey across America. The emotional reveal, delivered live from Nashville, was met with overwhelming excitement — and heartbreak — as fans prepared to say goodbye to one of the most enduring icons in the history of country music.
For decades, Reba has brought audiences to their feet with her powerhouse vocals, fiery storytelling, and unmatched stage presence. But this tour, she explained, will be different. It will be a celebration, a thank-you, and a final bow wrapped into one unforgettable experience.
“I’ve lived the greatest life because of the people who’ve stood by me, sang with me, and loved me through every chapter,” Reba shared during the announcement, her voice thick with emotion. “Now it’s time for me to close this journey the right way — with the people who made it possible.”
A Tour Designed to Honor a Lifetime of Music
The 2026 Farewell Tour will feature stops in major cities, historic venues, and special locations that hold deep personal meaning for Reba. From the Grand Ole Opry to arenas packed with generations of loyal fans, the “One Final Drive” tour is expected to sell out instantly.
Insiders say the production will be one of the most elaborate of Reba’s career, blending modern visual storytelling with nods to her legendary past. Fans can expect a set list that spans four decades of hits — from “Fancy” and “The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia” to her more recent releases.
“This isn’t just a tour,” one producer shared. “It’s a living tribute to one of the greatest careers in country music.”
An Emotional Surprise: Her Son Joins Her on Stage

The news brought the audience to tears.
Reba spoke candidly about how important it is to close this chapter with her family beside her. She described the upcoming performances with her son as “the most meaningful gift” she could offer to the fans who have loved her across generations.
Witnesses say the room grew silent as Reba paused to gather herself, clearly moved by the weight of the moment.
“He grew up watching me perform, living this life, and now I get to share the stage with him. That means everything to me,” she said softly.
