“Queen of Country”Reba McEntireis getting a little corny.
The country star, 68, who is currently promoting her upcoming book,Not That Fancy,and its companion album of the same name, has her face drawn in the cornfields. The shape of the singer’s face and signature hairstyle is appearing in the fields of farms across the country.
McEntire and several farms have joined in a collaboration to spread the word that the “Fancy” singer’sNot That Fancy,the book and album, will be released in early October.
“Growing up on a ranch in Oklahoma, I know how important agriculture is and I love being involved with something that brings more people out to farms across the country for good wholesome fun!” wrote McEntire on the collaboration’s official website,The Maize.
McEntire and Utah-based company MAiZE Inc. connected to organize the Reba-inspired designs. MAiZE, an expert in designing corn mazes across the globe, offered the opportunity for participating members to capitalize on a national campaign featuring a corn maze, leading to the marketing collaboration with McEntire.
Those with a MAiZE membership are qualified to access the company’s maze designs and sketch them out themselves, and those who would like a MAiZE team to cut the fields themselves would need to pay an additional fee.
While McEntire is the 2023 fall campaign, MAiZE has worked to celebrate NASA in 2011, and fan favoritePeanutscartoons in 2016.
