Reba McEntire had a funny moment happen during the 2020 CMA Awards, which took place on Wednesday (November 11) at the Music City Center in Nashville, Tenn.

Reba McEntire revealed she turned down Blake Shelton‘s seat on The Voice panel.

While making an appearance on Watch What Happens Live!, Reba confirmed she turned down the chance to be on the panel and Blake has been a mainstay on the show ever since.

“It is very true,” she said. “It was a very popular show in Holland, I’m pretty sure, and I watched the tape, and I said, ‘No, I’m going to pass on that,’ because I don’t think I could ever be able to tell somebody that they’re terrible or go find another job or hope you like your nighttime job. I couldn’t do that day in and day out. I just couldn’t do it. So I did pass on it.”

“Blake is the perfect choice. He’s done a wonderful job,” she said of the original coach, whose fame increased thanks to the reality competition series.

Fans are now pointing out that Reba turning down the show is a huge deal because it caused Blake to eventually meet his now-fiancee, Gwen Stefani! Gwen joined the show later on in The Voice‘s run and now they are engaged to be married!

It was recently revealed that Reba is dating this actor!

Country music legend Reba McEntire has confirmed she is dating CSI: Miami actor Rex Linn.

“Getting back in the dating world for me is fun and exciting,” the 65-year-old entertainer said on her podcast.

“It’s good to have a person to talk to, laugh with, get into subjects about what’s going on,” she said. “Discussions about our past, our family, funny stories, him being an actor, me being an actress. And he’s very into my music. I’m very into his career.”

“It’s just great getting to talk to somebody who I find very interesting, very funny, very smart and is interested in me, too,” she continued.

“We’re having a blast and still getting to know each other,” Reba added. “I put myself in his shows and if he was doing this podcast [about dating] and he didn’t mention me, I would be crushed.”

She added, “Whatever happens in the future, we’re very stable and it’s been a good six months and I look forward to having more things to look forward to.”
