The Night the Lights Went Out in…Tulsa

By 16 Comments

Oh my goodness, y’all.

Friday night was pretty much the greatest night of my life.

Dream come true.

Yeah…all of that.

In case you missed my tweets/blogs and have no idea what I’m talking about, Friday night, my Momma and I went to Tulsa to see REBA in concert!

I have well over 100 pictures from the concert, but I promise I won’t post all of them :)

Thursday night, I went home to my parents’ house, then Momma and I headed to Tulsa on Friday morning. We stayed at the Double Tree hotel, which is pretty much amazing because they gave us cookies when we checked in. I’m easily impressed!

I was definitely a happy girl!
We had FLOOR SEATS!!
Yay!
I was seriously in shock that I was actually going to see THE Reba!
Ok, now, on to the good stuff!
Edens Edge
Edens Edge was the opening band. I had heard of them before the show, but I hadn’t heard any of their music. I was suprised at how much I liked them. Their single “Amen” was really good, and they closed their set with a beautiful acapella gospel song. I will definitely be checking out more of their music.
Steel Magnolia
Meghan
I was REALLY excited to see Steel Magnolia! They were the winners of the latest seasons of Can You Duet, and I’ve loved them since their first single. I was super sad to hear that Josh was not going to be performing with her because he has gone to rehab. Glad he’s getting the help he needs, but sad to not see him.
Meghan sang a few songs on her own…
…then James Otto joined her for a few more!
They sang James’ song “Just Got Started Loving You” and Jamey Johnson’s song “In Color”, which James co-wrote.
They ended the show with Steel Magnolia’s “Keep On Loving You”! Meghan did a great show, and even though I’m not really a fan of James, I enjoyed seeing him too. Also, I LOVED Meghan’s flower headband! Ridiculously cute!
The Band Perry
Oh, how I love The Band Perry! I have loved them since their first single “Hip To My Heart”, and I’m an even bigger fan now. I was almost as excited to see them as I was to see Reba, and they definitely didn’t disappoint.
Kimberly is AMAZING! She has a wonderful voice, and you can tell she absolutely loves what she does.
“If I Die Young” brought me to tears! I’ve always gotten a little emotional listening to the song, but last week was the two year anniversary of the death of one of my friends from back home. She had been on my mind already last week, and that song really hit home for me.
They also performed their current single “All Your Life”, “Independence”, “Miss You Being Gone”, and Queen’s “Fat Bottomed Girls”.
They closed the show with “You Lie”, and they started the song with Rihanna’s part of “Love the Way You Lie”. It was really neat twist to the song, and I loved it!
REBA
Now, before I get into the Reba pictures, I have a little bit of explaining to do. I grew up listening to country music. Until probably middle school, country music was all I knew. I don’t know how it is in other states, but growing up in Oklahoma, you develop an appreciation for Oklahoma artists. Reba, Garth, and Vince are legends in my eyes, so for me, this concert was not just seeing Reba McEntire-country artist. It was REBA, Queen of Country Music.
Y’all, that’s Reba.
I just might have said “That’s Reba” to Momma when she walked out on stage. Starstruck doesn’t even being to describe it.
She opened the show with the title track from her latest CD “All The Women I Am”.
She sang several of my favorite newer songs, such as “Consider Me Gone”, “I Want a Cowboy”, and “Strange”, as well as many of her older hits like “Is There Life Out There”, “Why Haven’t I Heard From You”, “Take It Back”, “I’d Rather Ride Around with You”, “The Fear of Being Alone”, and “The Greatest Man I Never Knew”, plus many others.
Her backup singer was having the best time!
Kimberly joined her for “Does He Love You”! They sounded great together!
And that, my friends, is what you call the Reba stink eye. Kimberly should be scared for trying to steal Reba’s man! :)
This was probably my favorite song of the night.
When she sang “I’m a Survivor”, the theme from her show “Reba”, they played clips from the show!
It’s Barbara Jean!

Of course, she ended the show with “Fancy”!

It was an amazing night! Reba knows how to put on a show, and she picked a great group of opening acts. I enjoyed every moment of it, and I’m glad I got to experience it with my Momma!
