Martina McBride to appear on “Oprah” today
Superstar Martina McBride makes her second appearance on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” in barely a week today.
The country singer appeared last Monday, Oct. 26 on Oprah’s State Fair of Texas episode. The show as actually taped two weeks prior to the airdate. But McBride got the call on a Friday and by Monday morning was on the Texas stage singing, according to a news release.
She follows that performance with an Oprah segment that takes the country star back to her home state of Kansas with only a couple days notice.
The theme of today’s show is celebrities’ first jobs. In her teens, McBride served up ice cream and burgers at her hometown DQ. Oprah’s crew took the singer back to revisit the Hutchinson, Kan., Dairy Queen, which is still owned by the same couple who employed Martina after high school.
“Getting the call to be on Oprah’s show twice in such a short time period was exciting,” says McBride in the release. “I’ve done Texas and Kansas … maybe Oklahoma is next.”
She may not star in an Oprah episode here in the Sooner State, but McBride is indeed Oklahoma bound. McBride’s “Shine All Night Tour” presented by SunnyD and co-starring Trace Adkins kicks off Nov. 20 and covers 40 cities across the U.S. through the spring of 2010. The tour will come to Oklahoma City’s Ford Center on Dec. 5. Both McBride and Adkins will perform full-length shows. Go to www.shineallnight.com for tour dates, exclusive content and more.
McBride also recently taped a segment in Nashville for “In The Spotlight With Robin Roberts: Bright Lights. Big Stars. All Access Nashville.” The ABC TV special will give viewers an unprecedented, all-access pass into the homes and private lives of country music’s biggest stars, and will introduce America to the up-and-coming singer-songwriters working to become Nashville’s next hit sensations. The special will air at 9 p.m. Nov. 10 on ABC.
McBride is currently nominated for CMA Female Vocalist of the Year, an award she has won 4 times, tying her with Reba McEntire for the most wins. The 2009 CMA Awards will air at 7 p.m. Nov. 11 on ABC.
