It’s been three years since Reba McEntire and her siblings lost their mom, Jackie McEntire, however, we’re just learning that the country star almost walked away from music after the loss.

During a visit to Hoda and Jenna, Reba said that the reason she became a performer was because of her mother and after she was gone, she didn’t see a reason for it anymore. Fortunately, sister Susie encouraged her to keep going.
