Country singing sensation Reba McEntire has enjoyed a long and illustrious career that spans award-winning music, TV shows, famous friendships and, of course, a bit of drama along the way. Now she's written her first book, a memoir titled Not That Fancy: Simple Lessons on Living, Loving, Eating and Dusting Off Your Boots.
To give fans a sneak peek ahead of its release this fall, Reba is turning the mic over to her good friend and fellow Country Music Hall of Famer Garth Brooks during a livestream interview hosted by TalkShopLive — and you can watch it tonight, right here on GoodHousekeeping.com.

“I can’t wait to hang out with my buddy Garth Brooks to talk about my new book Not That Fancy, which he graciously wrote the forward to," Reba told GH. "He’s a fellow Okie, longtime friend and someone who constantly amazes me with his creativity and love for entertaining. I know we’re going to have a blast!”
Reba describes Not That Fancy as a delightful collection of photos, recipes, lifestyle tips and deeply personal and poignant life stories delivered with good humor and grace. (Of course they are, it's Reba!) This isn't your typical memoir though. It includes over 50 recipes from Reba's family and personal lifestyle advice, like how to design a down-to-earth date night, dominate at cards, and — best of all — how to achieve Reba's signature hairstyle.
The multi-media entertainment mogul became a household name through a diverse career in television, film, theater, retail, hospitality and, of course, music. She has more than 50 award wins to her name, including honors from ACM Awards, American Music Awards, People’s Choice Awards, CMA Awards, Grammy Awards, GMA Dove Awards and more. With hits on the Top 10 Billboard Country Airplay chart that span five decades, Reba is one of only four country artists to earn this achievement, alongside Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson and George Jones. So you can be sure this is going to be one dishy book!
