A true country fan can never get enough of Reba, so thankfully, the redheaded country legend spent all morning on the TODAY Show as a special guest performer and co-host. The appearance was in support of her brand new record (and first Gospel release), Sing it Now: Songs of Faith & Hope.

During her time on the show, Reba performed several tracks from her two-disc project, including “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,” “God and My Girlfriends,” and “Back To God.”

“When I sing these songs, it chokes me up. I get very emotional because… oh it’s healing and it’s very inspirational and inspiring and it gives me hope because of the faith. I just don’t know what I’d do without it,” she told TODAY hosts Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb.

During her time with the TODAY Show, Reba also played a game of “Country Confessions” with Al Roker and Sheinelle Jones, where she admitted her most favorite country song of all time, the craziest thing an audience member has ever done at one of her concerts and much more!

Sing it Now: Songs of Faith & Hope is currently available at all digital retailers.
