At last year’s Academy of Country Music Awards, host Reba McEntire stole the show when she re-wore her famous sheer red dress that had its own pop culture moment when she first debuted the form-fitting look in 1993.
“The dress was stretchy, thank God,” quipped the 64-year-old country singer.

And like the red dress, McEntire remains the perfect fit for the ACMs, reports
The Tennessean. The entertainment icon, ever relevant, will serve as host for the 16th time when the 54th ACM Awards air live from MGM Grand’s Garden Arena at 7 p.m. Sunday on CBS.
Performers include McEntire, Brooks & Dunn, Brandi Carlile, Eric Church, Kelly Clarkson, Luke Combs, Dan + Shay, Florida Georgia Line, Ashley McBryde, Kane Brown, Miranda Lambert, Chris Stapleton, George Strait and ACM Dick Clark Artist of the Decade Award honoree Jason Aldean.
"Reba is the consummate host in that she understands what it takes to put a show together," ACM Awards producer RAC Clark said. "Her sitcom experience, her Broadway experience, all of that comes into the fold when it comes to being a host. People love her. She's one of the best in the business."
McEntire, who herself has won 16 ACM trophies, said there was one thing that had no place on the show: politics.
“We’re not here to give them airtime,” she said. “This is country music.”
