Reba McEntire is good at a lot of things. McEntire is a successful singer and actress, plus owns multiple businesses, including her Reba's Place restaurant and her own clothing line at Dillard's. But there is one thing the Country Music Hall of Fame member isn't good at: bowling!

McEntire posts a humorous post on social media of her ill-fated attempt at knocking down all the pins at a bowling alley. In the video McEntire shares, she reveals that she uses a dinosaur, likely used for small children. But even with the assistance, McEntire still lands her ball in the gutter, as her longtime boyfriend Rex Linn looks on in the background.

Fortunately, McEntire's income isn't based on her ability to bowl. The 69-year-old is back on tour, and is also starring in a new sitcom, Happy's Place. The show, which also stars Linn and Melissa Peterman, airs on NBC.
"I love the script, Happy's Place, because it is something that actually really could happen," McEntire boasts. "It's a lot of fun. It's got a lot of heart to it. It's about me. I play Bobbie Jo, and my dad is Happy, and he has owned this tavern for many, many years. He's kind of retired, so I've been kind of handling it.
"Well, my daddy dies, and I go to the lawyer's office to make sure all the will is just right and sign the papers, and I have quite a surprise," she adds. "I find out that my daddy did have two families. There you go."
Happy's Place, which was just picked up for a second season, isn't the only TV time McEntire is getting this year. She is returning to once again host the ACM Awards, for the ceremony's milestone 60th anniversary.
McEntire, who also hosted last year, took over hosting duties from Garth Brooks and Dolly Parton, who co-hosted in 2023.
"It's gonna be an absolute can't-miss show, and I can't wait to be there with you," McEntire says.
For the third consecutive year, the ceremony will be held at Ford Center in The Star District, home of the Dallas Cowboys in Frisco, Texas. Tickets are available now at SeatGeek.com.
