Despite being vaccinated, Reba McEntire came down with coronavirus along with boyfriend Rex Linn. In a recent TikTok livestream, McEntire said, "I just want to say one thing: this has been a hard year and it's getting rougher again. You guys, please stay safe. Wear your mask. Do what you have to do. Stay home. It's not fun to get this. I did get it. Rex and I got it and it's not fun. You don't feel good. We were both vaccinated and we still got it, so stay safe, stay home, and be protected the best you can." The surge in COVID-19 cases across America is making her double think her plans for upcoming live shows. "I have no idea what plans for next year are. You know, the COVID thing has really hit hard and spikes are going everywhere right now ... and it's all over the country — this new variant. We have plans right now to go back on tour in January, February and March. We have plans with being with Brooks & Dunn at Caesars in December — the first two weeks, almost three weeks of December — but we don't know if that's going to go." This all comes just days after McEntire announced a postponement of her late mom's memorial services due to the surge in COVID-19 cases, as we told you last week.
