Creativity Quote by Faith Hill

"Reba is very, very close to everyone around her. She's a classy lady"

About this Quote

Celebrity warmth is often staged like a red-carpet smile: convincing at a distance, dubious up close. Faith Hill’s line about Reba McEntire leans into the rare compliment that tries to sound unproduced. The double “very, very” is doing more than emphasis; it signals testimony. Hill isn’t praising Reba’s talent or résumé (the safe, generic move). She’s vouching for how Reba treats people when the cameras aren’t dictating the choreography.

“Close to everyone around her” carries a savvy kind of inclusivity. It suggests Reba’s attention isn’t reserved for peers or power brokers, but extends to the orbiting crew: band members, staff, opening acts, the folks whose names don’t end up in the caption. In country music, where authenticity is a core brand promise and the backstage ecosystem is tight-knit, that detail matters. It’s a shorthand for leadership: the star who remembers your name, asks about your kid, and doesn’t weaponize status.

Then Hill lands on “classy lady,” a phrase that feels old-school on purpose. “Classy” implies restraint, manners, steadiness - not just niceness, but a kind of social discipline. Subtext: Reba has navigated a competitive industry without becoming brittle, petty, or performatively edgy. Coming from another major female artist, it also reads as strategic solidarity: an acknowledgment of the lineage and the code of conduct that helped women survive (and sometimes quietly outlast) the boys’ club. Hill isn’t just complimenting Reba; she’s endorsing a model of fame that doesn’t require cruelty.
