Julia Fox’s “Porcelain Doll” Glam Is So Marie Antoinette-Coded

A few months before Reba McEntire turned 28, she was idling in a “bus barn” in DeSoto, Texas, waiting for a wheel on her tour bus to be replaced, when she got a call from her manager. She’d just earned her first No. 1 hit.

It was 1983, and the Oklahoma native beelined for an old rotary phone. “The first person I called was Mama,” McEntire, 68, tells Bustle.

Now, 41 years later, McEntire has racked up 25 No. 1s and has no plans of slowing down. Last year, she played Madison Square Garden for the first time, released a New York Times bestselling book, and joined The Voice as a coach. And in January, NBC announced that she’ll front a new comedy series.
