Plus, the source adds that during a recent photo shoot with Reba McEntire and Martina McBride, Swift called Jonas so he could talk to McEntire.
I tried so hard to get in character like my mom ... I remember looking across the stage, trying to give Reba an evil look, and I'm thinking, 'This is Reba McEntire,' and I busted a huge smile.
I can only do what I do ... There are people in this business, like Reba [McEntire] and Vince [Gill], that can pretty much do any kind of format and make it work for them as singers. I am about as country as dirt.
The only person we really haven’t been able to wrangle in is George Strait, but we’re working on it ... Last year Reba (McEntire) was back after many, many years out. It’s fun to have these guys back.
The entertainer of the year trophy is supposed to represent heart and passion and an amazing amount of sacrifice, commitment and focus. That's the way Garth (Brooks) won it four times, that's the way I won it, that's the way (George) Strait won it, Reba (McEntire), Alabama all those years. That's what it's supposed to represent.
Once you get to sing with the No. 1 American idol ... watching it on TV is just not the same.
