This four-year-old was going about her normal life when Fancy came on the radio. Reba McEntire, the Queen of Country, released the first recording of Fancy in 1991. The child was riding in the back seat of the car, heading home after an outing with her family. A major country music fan, she started to sing along with the radio.
Not just singing, she was dancing and copying Reba McEntire's trademark movements during the back-seat performance. Caught in the zone, she didn't notice her mother capturing the hilarious, heart-warming impromptu event. The video went viral, and while it may be the darling child's first concert, it definitely won't be her last!
