I hadn't noticed that until I saw your comment, but sure enough, I can't find any mention of K.T.'s passing on any of Reba's social media pages. I love Reba, but that's just tacky and disrespectful. Not cool at all. God bless the brilliant K.T. Oslin
It was a strange pass, on Reba’s part, to say ZERO about the death of KT, because KT truly did enter into the marketplace and outsell Reba for a couple of years at a major moment in country music history. It was a rivalry for sure, even if a friendly one. As both of them indicated in this old interview, they had a sense of humor about it. Reba’s awesome and always will be, KT was an unexpected, late-in-life meteoric superstar who had the advantage of writing her own songs, and she left the business on her own terms. Reba was present when KT received the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame award last year. Nice photo of them together. KT was dying of Parkinson’s but looked great (all things considered) and so did Reba. It’s clear they admired each other and cared for each other. Maybe Reba simply had nothing she wanted to share with the public and held her own private feelings about the matter of KT’s passing, instead of “issuing a perfunctory statement” as so many do robotically. If that’s the case, I respect Reba all the more. She has been through some serious horrors in her life (her band’s plane crash, her cheating/pig husband) and she always emerged with grace and optimism ... even if she probably felt crushed to pieces. Reba was and deservedly remains the much bigger, more lasting “star” than KT, but, in my opinion, KT was more talented and gifted than Reba, artistically, for her extraordinary few years in the limelight. You really can’t beat someone who writes his or her own songs and makes them into gold. It’s that added, unique power or potency. But KT was never going to hang in the business as long as Reba and admitted so-she made her millions and left on her own terms. Perhaps Reba could have said something, publicly, but she did appear with KT when KT got the Nashville Songwriters Award, so she obviously cared. At this point in our chaotic human culture, I think that saying “nothing” and keeping one’s feelings private is a virtue beyond measure. I love both Reba and KT, btw.
We are going to miss her I love her songs That is a wonderful woman
RIP, K.T. You were one of the best.
Yeah, COVID took her out. 😢
Reba not recognizing KT's passing is very disappointing and telling. Thank you for sharing yourself with us Ms. Oslin. RIP
