Ugh, this is so good. My favorite genre of interview answer is the abrupt interjection that doesn’t quite answer the question being asked and is better for it (see Liza Minnelli’s “Balls to you!”), and Reba McEntire just delivered a new classic. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the country legend was asked whether her Cardi B fandom would lead to a collaboration. McEntire did not answer the question but instead turned her head away from the interviewer to screech her version of Cardi’s now trademarked catchphrase, “Okurrr.”
But it didn’t sound like, “Okurrr.” It sounded like, “Okay-ra!” Kind of like the vegetable that is a staple of gumbo… with a trill.
