LDT “💔 Reba McEntire Shares Heartfelt Tribute to Her Late Stepson During ‘The Voice’ Episode”
Country music icon Reba McEntire brought both the audience and fellow coaches to tears during a recent episode of The Voice when she opened up about a deeply personal loss.
After a contestant performed an emotional ballad about supporting a loved one through illness, Reba took a quiet breath before revealing:
“I lost my oldest son because he did not win with cancer.”
The moment was raw and heartfelt — a rare glimpse into the private grief of one of America’s most beloved performers.
Reba’s stepson, Brandon Blackstock, passed away in August 2025 after a courageous battle with melanoma. The news deeply affected both the McEntire and Clarkson families, as Brandon shared two children with singer Kelly Clarkson, who has spoken about maintaining family unity during this time.
Reba, who has long been admired for her strength and authenticity, said that Brandon’s children are “taking it one day at a time” and finding comfort in their shared memories.
Fans across social media praised the country legend for her openness, calling her words “a moment of truth and love.”
The segment reminded viewers why Reba continues to be cherished — not just as a performer, but as a woman of resilience, empathy, and unwavering grace.
