Reba McEntire is the undisputed reigning queen of country music, and, as we all know, every Royal has her favorites. The 60-year-old singer, who not only recently released her 27th studio album, Love Somebody, but who’s also headed to The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas this June to headline the show Reba, Brooks & Dunn: Together in Las Vegas, shared her favorite new singers on the country music scene.

1. I love Caroline Kole. She’s a young artist that we have at [her recording company] Starstruck that has toured with me alot. She’s just now graduated from high school. She absolutely lives, sleeps and breathes music.
2. I’m a big fan of Dustin Lynch— get a big kick out of him. We email back and forth.
3. Maddie & Tae…they’re cute as buttons. I just love them. There’s so many new people coming up that I haven’t even gotten to meet yet. That’s why I love to go to award shows—so I can meet all the new people!
