The First Female Colonel Sanders
In January 2018, McEntire also entered the fast-food industry when she was cast as the first-ever female Colonel Sanders. The advertisement was to promote their new product called “Smoky Mountain BBQ.” In the commercial, you would see her singing while being decked out in the Colonel’s clothes.
Rather Strange
Some may say that it was a strange idea, but she still got the part and did not even think twice about it. Reba even shared with reporters how privileged she felt to be offered to be the first female Kentucky Fried Chicken Colonel. That’s why she accepted the role immediately.
