Reba McEntire is way more than just a singer. She’s also an actress, an author, a humanitarian, and a business owner. In the spirit of fairness, however, we can’t all excel at everything. Watch this video of the universe righting itself, otherwise known as Reba failing spectacularly at bowling.

Reba McEntire Is Not a Bowler
In a video posted to social media Tuesday (March 11), Reba McEntire looks every inch the part of a professional bowler during a recent outing with her boyfriend, Rex Linn.
Dressed in all black, flame-colored hair pulled back and tucked under a ball cap, the “Fancy” singer is ready to strike.
“POV: You told your man you were good at bowling,” the text overlay reads.
Next, reality sets in for Reba as her song “I Can’t” begins to play. The camera pans to show the seven-time Top Female Vocalist gingerly placing her bowling ball on a ramp shaped like a dinosaur. And even the extra assistance can’t keep the ball from veering into the gutter.
“Maybe next time,” Reba says, as the camera zooms in on her face.
The post garnered more than 30,000 likes, with Seinfeld composer Jonathan Wolff weighing in. “HA! Nice one, Boss,” wrote Wolff, who also composed the music for Reba’s early-aughts sitcom.
He continued, “I still have a couple of ‘Reba Strikes Again’ bowling team shirts that you had made for our “‘team.’”
Another Instagram user added, “maybe stick with singing and acting hmm?”
Reba Has Founded Nashville’s First Rodeo: “I Just Knew I Had To Be Part of It”
Nashville is getting its first-ever Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association event this spring. Tim McGraw’s Down Home, a partnership with Skydance Media, in association with Humes Rodeo, are bringing the Music City Rodeo to Bridgestone Arena May 29-31.
McGraw, Reba McEntire and Jelly Roll will headline a concert each night, with all three serving as founding members of MCR.
While Reba, 69, may not make it as a professional bowler, this is far from her first rodeo. A former barrel racer, she competed in 50 rodeos a year during her college years at Southeastern Oklahoma State University.
“It’s no secret that rodeo is in my blood, and I’m thrilled to be a part of starting a new Nashville tradition,” said the “I’m a Survivor” songstress. “Country music and rodeo coming together in Music City, what a perfect combination…I just knew I had to be part of it.”
