It's not every week you can say Reba McEntire joins a Hawk Sunday night but this Sunday, she is co-hosting Country Countdown USA.  The popular 3 hour countdown will be filled with inside stories and fun Reba revelations when it airs 7-10pm tonight on 98.1 The Hawk!

Reba co-hosted the ACMs with Blake Shelton in 2012.  Since then, he's co-hosted with Luke Bryan.  CCUSA host Lon Helton asks Reba what she thought of how Blake's career has grown: "I think it's amazing.  The chance of him getting to be on The Voice, with his personality and great looks.  He puts a lot of thought into that show.  I am just so proud of him.  He has just developed and grown, and he's lovin' every minute of it."

Speaking of "Fancy," newcomer Sam Hunt has been singing the Reba classic in his show, and Lon asked Reba what she thought about that: "I can't wait to hear him do that.  That wouldn't have been something I thought a man would do, but that's pretty fun for him to do that."  By the way, Sam is one of the co-writers of "Love Somebody," the title track of Reba's new album.

Lon asked Reba if she'd met Thomas Rhett when he was a boy: "Oh yeah I've got a picture of Thomas Rhett and my son Shelby, they're about the same age, at a picnic.  The two boys were out fishing, and just cute as a button.  They may have been about 6 years old."

Reba also has great stories this week about Carrie Underwood, Lady Antebellum, George Strait, Cole Swindell, Sam Hunt, and Kelly Clarkson.
