Six years of break time from the ACM Awards means six different costumes ready to go for Reba when she hosts the big event in Vegas.

From learning all of the script to plugging in some of that Southern humor to the mix, Reba really just wanted to pick which looks she planned to sport during the ACM extravaganza. Nailing down six outfits in particular that the country icon will don beautifully on stage, Reba even put one outfit on hold in case something wrong happens with the other ensembles.

“The last time I hosted was with Blake Shelton. I don’t think he changed clothes one time and I gave him a lot of grief about that, but I’ve gotten my clothes ready. I’ve gotten six ready to go, one for the red carpet, and then for the show, and then in case something doesn’t work or malfunctions, you’ve got one, you know, ready to go again,” she told Entertainment Tonight about her preparation for her ACM hosting gig.

Reba may be accustomed to both life on stage and being on television from her long-lasting career in music, but the feeling never gets old for her especially when the live factor is thrown in.

“It’s very exciting, I love live television. So, to be able to know the ins and outs and who’s doing what and be there for the rehearsals … it’s just fun,” she explained.

The 53rd Annual ACM Awards will broadcast live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday, April 15, at 8 p.m. EST on CBS.
