Reba McEntire & Carrie Underwood Deliver a Powerful Duet of “Does He Love You” at the Grand Ole Opry
On September 22, 2017, Reba McEntire celebrated the 40th anniversary of her Grand Ole Opry debut with an unforgettable performance — and a special guest who helped make it even more magical: Carrie Underwood. Together, the two country powerhouses performed McEntire’s iconic hit “Does He Love You”, leaving the Opry crowd on its feet.
A Legendary Song Reimagined
Originally recorded in 1993 by McEntire and Linda Davis, “Does He Love You” was written by Sandy Knox and Billy Stritch and featured on McEntire’s Greatest Hits Volume II. The emotional ballad tells the story of two women — a wife and a mistress — both in love with the same man and grappling with jealousy, heartbreak, and betrayal.
For this anniversary performance, McEntire opened the first verse with her signature warmth and storytelling finesse before welcoming Underwood to take the second verse. Their combined voices on the chorus created a powerhouse blend — Reba’s timeless tone meeting Carrie’s soaring range in a duet filled with tension, passion, and respect.
As they sang, McEntire’s pride was visible — smiling as Underwood delivered her verses with conviction. The crowd roared, witnessing a master-to-protégé moment that perfectly embodied the spirit of country music.
A Star-Studded Night at the Opry
The celebration didn’t end there. Country legends Dolly Parton and Vince Gill also appeared to honor McEntire’s remarkable 40-year journey with the Opry.
After the show, Underwood shared her excitement on Instagram:
“How is this my life? I got to be part of this crew celebrating @reba’s 40th anniversary of her first @opry appearance! Three legends…and me!!! So many dreams came true tonight! #OnlyAtTheOpry.”
A Legacy That Lives On
Four years later, in October 2021, McEntire revisited the song again — this time collaborating with Dolly Parton for a new rendition and music video, further solidifying its place as one of country music’s most powerful duets.
Reba McEntire and Carrie Underwood’s Opry performance remains a defining moment — not just for Reba’s storied career, but for the enduring connection between two generations of country queens, united by one unforgettable song.
