Interview: Reba Talks About Her Upcoming Tour with Kelly Clarkson Beginning January 17th

Reba McEntire is one of country music's biggest superstars. She has released over 30 albums over a three decade career. In 2007, her Duets record was her first record ever to reach No. 1 on Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart. The record included several big names in the business such as Justin Timberlake, LeAnn Rimes, Faith Hill and Kelly Clarkson.

Reba and Kelly met in 2002 after Clarkson became the first winner of the hit TV show American Idol. Kelly has admired McEntire since she was a little girl. In 2007, her dream of performing with Reba because a reality when the two joined together for an intimate concert aired on CMT called Crossroads. The two had already recorded one song called "A Lot Like You" for McEntire's album. But after the two sang Kelly's No. 1 hit "Because of You," Reba's husband and manager Narvel Blackstock suggested the two record that song in place of "A Lot Like You." Released as the first single, the song quickly shot up the charts, giving Clarkson some of her first country nominations, as the song is now nominated for a Grammy award next month.

After a tough year for Clarkson, McEntire and her husband took her under their wing and Kelly signed a management deal with Starstruck, Narvel's own company.

Clarkson, who just finished her rescheduled "My December Tour," is about to hit the road once more. Only this time, Reba's joining her.

"Kelly and I will be going out on a tour, "2 Worlds 2 Voices Tour," for a 15-city set," McEntire says.

"Narvel and I have been wanting to do this for quite some time now, but we never had the right chance," she says. "When Kelly and I performed for Crossroads it was electrifying. She's so bubbly and fun to work with."

Fans of the two performers will get a different kind of show this time around however. McEntire is known for her big production numbers and extraordinary costumes. However, this time, the two will join the stage together with one band.
