Ashley McBryde starstruck by Reba McEntire, most successful Christmas songs | Music City Minute

Ashley McBryde was so starstruck meeting Reba McEntire for the first time, it haunts her to this day. It happened in 2019 when Reba snuck into a radio interview with McBryde. “I’m your biggest fan!” said Queen Reba. Ashley was petrified, she then “honked like a goose” at the country icon and managed a shy “hi” back. This isn’t the only awkward introduction the “Brenda Put Your Bra On” singer has experienced. McBryde claims she’s said “stupid things” to Patty Loveless and Morgane Stapleton too.

Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree” is a playlist staple this time of year. Originally released in 1958, the song has gone platinum seven times! It is also the second-highest certified Christmas title behind “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” and it just reached one billion streams last week. I’d say Brenda Lee being named the “Queen of Christmas” this year is well deserved.
