While countless were glued to social media and television amid Tuesday’s election, keeping a close eye on the polls and making sure to cast a ballot, Reba’s attention seemed to be elsewhere.

Country music star Reba McEntire was recently called out for her seemingly tone-deaf post on X, formerly Twitter, that was shared on election day.

While countless were glued to social media and television amid Tuesday’s election, keeping a close eye on the polls and making sure to cast a ballot, Reba’s attention seemed to be elsewhere. Instead of commenting on their 2024 presidential election, The Voice coach promoted National Redhead Day, which is November 5. While it’s understandable why she honored the holiday, being that she’s a famous redhead, some didn’t take too kindly to her posting about something seemingly trivial on such a serious day in America.

After the TV star shared a side-by-side photo of herself having long and short red hair with the caption, “Long or short, either way I love being a redhead!#NationalRedheadDay,” fans were quick to call her out.

“Reba, not right now……,” one person wrote on X, quote tweeting Reba’s post. A second agreed, “Reba, you know what we’re not going to do today? We’re not going to talk about your hairstyle.”

Instead of posting about the election, Reba posted about ‘National Redhead Day’ 

Another joked: “Reba, you know what we’re not going to do today? We’re not going to talk about your hairstyle.” A third shared, “Reba, my queen…not today. Sweet mother of potato, we BUSY!”

Someone else mentioned: “Reba, my queen…not today. Sweet mother of potato, we BUSY!”

The 2024 presidential election is panning out to be a nail-biter as people await for votes to be counted and the new president of the U.S. determined. Running for office is Republican presidential nominee ex-President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Over 82 million people voted early, and those casting ballots on Tuesday mostly encountered a smooth process around the country. However, there were some isolated reports of some hiccups that regularly happen, such as long lines, technical issues, and ballot printing errors. The Mirror recently reported that early voting data shows that Harris has 40% with Trump on 38% while overall so far including people who have now also gone to the polls in person, it shows that the Democrats also have a lead.
