Reba
Reba McEntire celebrated the premiere of her new ABC show Malibu Country this past Friday night (11/2) with staff at her Nashville Starstruck offices on Music Row.
The new comedy series ranked in the evening’s top slot, with 8.9 million viewers tuning in. The debut also helped to make ABC the evening’s number one network among adults 18-49.
Preceding the 8:30 pm ET/7:30 CT premiere, McEntire held an hour-long webchat to answer questions from fans and host phone calls from Malibu Country co-stars.
Included in promotions for Malibu Country is new music from McEntire called “The New Me,” written by Dave Stewart, McEntire, and her husband/manager Narvel Blackstock. The song is currently available from ABC on iTunes.
The morning of the CMA Awards (11/1), McEntire performed another new song from the show, called “Goodbye Looks Good On Me” as well as recent hits “Turn On The Radio” and “Consider Me Gone,” live from Nashville on Good Morning America.
