Stefani captioned the post, writing, “My queen Reba sent me the most magical boots. This means so much to me!! Now, where should I wear them first??”
Although the singers shared the stage on The Voice, Reba admitted she would love to get in the studio with Stefani in the future. When walking a red carpet event, the country star said, “It’d be fun.” She added, “Ask her when she comes over here.” The reporter did just that when Stefani made her way down.

The Only Place Reba McEntire Liked To Go To Hide From Stardom
While only just a discussion for now, the idea of Reba and Stefani finding their way to the studio could happen in the future given their love for country music. But for now, it remained only a dream to many fans of both stars.
As for Reba, she looked to escape the spotlight for a few moments. Knowing how hard privacy can be when you are a country music star, the singer revealed that the bathroom was her safe haven. She told Glamour, “My favorite place to just be by myself is on the toilet. I’ll get my phone, my glasses, just go lock the door and sit on the toilet because it’s the quiet place.”
Using the bathroom to get away more than once, Reba declared, “Nobody can reach you, nobody’s going to bother you. But it works every time.”
