Reba’s 2025 Houston Rodeo opener was pure fire from the first note. Dressed in sparkling red, she powered through hits old and new while pyrotechnics lit up the stadium.

Social media exploded with videos of entire families singing along, three generations knowing every word. “My ears are ringing and I’d do it again tomorrow,” one fan tweeted.

The way she delivers each line will make you understand why this became every underdog’s battle cry.
