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

[DMVAUDITS]

“This is for my eight buddies” one of the most emotional acceptance speeches I ever seen/heard.😢😢

[mattpoyzer]

that applause lasted a whole 50 seconds.. almost a MINUTE... the support of country music will always amaze me.

[curt]

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.

"It's blank." Absolutely PERFECT!!

[britsatwiteva]

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 :)

[Shusha]

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.

This will never not bring me to misty eyes.
