“Cake and ice cream are good, but when you put ’em together, it’s even better,” McEntire said at a news conference announcing the trio’s residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace starting June 24.
The three bantered like the “best friends” McEntire said they were, describing a dinner about six months ago when the idea cropped up and Ronnie Dunn said, “heck, let’s do it.”
Their people talked with Caesars and co-producer AEG Live, and the plan was worked out in the last two months.
“It’s magic,” Reba said of how their on-stage reunion in the 4,000-seat venue came about.
