On the evening of September 22, 2017, the Grand Ole Opry was buzzing with excitement as country music legends gathered to celebrate Reba McEntire’s 40th anniversary of her debut at the iconic venue. The star-studded night included performances by Reba, Vince Gill, Dolly Parton, and a surprise guest appearance by none other than Carrie Underwood. However, it was the unexpected duet between Reba and Carrie that left the audience completely mesmerized.
The performance took place during the second sold-out show of the evening, with Reba taking center stage to begin her classic hit “Does He Love You.” The crowd erupted in cheers as Carrie Underwood, dressed in a pale pink gown, joined Reba, who shimmered in a sparkling black suit, to deliver a breathtaking version of the duet. The two women’s voices blended effortlessly, showcasing their distinctive yet complementary styles.
“Does He Love You,” originally released in 1993, tells the story of a love triangle from the perspectives of two women vying for the love of the same man. Reba first performed the duet with Linda Davis, and later with Dolly Parton, but this moment with Carrie Underwood is widely regarded as one of the most unforgettable renditions of the song.
