This will always be a touching moment. Reba was recovering after the sudden loss if her entire band. I commend her for having the courage to even attend after such a horrifying event. Not to mention to dedicate the award to her band's memory. Classy lady she is.
The plane crash changed Everything!! Her career was already well into a second decade....and she was only Just getting started!!! For My Broken Heart Album still holds up brilliantly
Those were without a doubt real tears, she loved them like they were family. Everytime I see this or the interviews where she talks about her eight buddies I cry with her. God bless you Reba :)
She said that dolly parton and Vince gil called her right after and offered to come help her with their bands because she had a tour to finish even after losing her 8 band members. I can't imagine how difficult it was for her to finish knowing they weren't there with her.
She does deserve the award Reba's broke down in tears because shes sad because she lost her good friends which are her band members and shes happy that she won so Reba's crying sad and happy tears 😔😢😊😃
I remember where I was. Turning the antenna on the house till I could see this back in Western Ky. Many years ago. !! Howd I get so lost from then to now. ?? I long for those days again !!
I was so devastated to hear about the plane crash of Our Beautiful Female Entertainer from are State Of Oklahoma. We had her and her Band at the Tulsa State Fair, for entertaining , thru our Radio Station, KTOW located in Sand Springs, Oklahoma. They were unique and Real Country, I will never for get that I meet, Reba Mc Entire and her first band members, we all shook their hands and Thank Them for such Awsome Shows and Songs. They were country for Sure 🎤 🎶 🎸🎻🇺🇲 RIP 💌💌💌💌💌💌💌💌...
Reba is an angel, who has given so much for so many people. I wish this hadn't happened to her. Bless you, Reba and RIP the band and the others who died .
I'm not a country super fan especially with todays pop country. I like it, But reba and dolly parton music always hit different to me. She's a lovely woman
This was the same year her band died in that plane crash righr? 1991? Because I was just curious why on the Wikipedia page for this particular event she isn't listed as the winner for this award. Must be a mistake on Wiki.
@RyanCooleyFanx No she did'nt, In this show the president sent out his condolences, Vince Gill paid tribute to Dottie in a video message at the cma's, Reba did pay tribute to Dottie in her autobiography
How could they??? This was taped April 1991...Dottie didnt die til September 1991. This is the ACM's....you are thinking of the CMA's that are in the fall.
dugite100 I agree Reba was crying because she was sad and happy sad because she lost her band members whom they were her close friends and happy because she won
The Academy of Country Music Awards sucks. The Country Music Association awards are better. the reason why I think the academy sucks is because all they do is give out too many useless awards like new male vocalist, new female vocalist and new vocal Duo group along with milestone awards and Artist of the Decade. For me what makes an award show good as when you do not have a lot of categories. that's why I think the association is better than the academy because they don't have they don't give out useless Awards, the academy does that. Besides the purpose of the Country Music Association (Nashville 1958) is to promote the genre of country music. The purpose of the Academy of Country Music (Los Angeles 1958) is to promote country music in the 13 states west of Texas Oklahoma Kansas Nebraska and The Dakotas, since their 50th award show was held in Texas. I'm aware that the ACM was the first to have a country music award show so if you like country music like me I say ditch the academy and support the association. Plus when you think about it the academy selects people that the fans would select.

“This is for my eight buddies” one of the most emotional acceptance speeches I ever seen/heard.😢😢
This will always be a touching moment. Reba was recovering after the sudden loss if her entire band. I commend her for having the courage to even attend after such a horrifying event. Not to mention to dedicate the award to her band's memory. Classy lady she is.
that applause lasted a whole 50 seconds.. almost a MINUTE... the support of country music will always amaze me.

@StephanieG45 I hate seeing her upset!!! It hurts me too!
Morgan Ely it makes me sad too see Reba in tears and in pain emotionally
