The country music star, who debuted on the reality competition series on Season 24, stood solo on the stage’s platform as the lights turned up.
Reba, 69, was joined by fellow musicians who played the song’s smoky opening chords as the desert-theme set lit up around her.
The singer was surrounded by cacti and desert rock as well as a moving sky projection in the background.
Reba stunned in a black Western jacket with fringe, paired with black pants and a large buckle belt.
She had her signature red hair in soft curls, pulled into an updo with face-framing pieces left out.
Later on in the performance, rain was seen falling in the projections behind Reba as fire and smoke also blew behind her.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, The Voice fans went crazy over her opening number for the show’s lives.
“This is insane. Incredible performance,” one person said.
“Now that’s why she is the Queen. Blew me away. Listening to it on repeat,” a second wrote.
“Welllll…I told y’all #ICant is EVER. Y. THING,” a third tweeted.

REBA’S NEWEST GIG
Aside from her second season as a coach on The Voice, Reba also has some other exciting career moves in the works.
The celeb recently opened up about her return to the world of scripted television after previously starring in her self-titled TV series, Reba.
Reba ran on the WB from 2001 to 2007.
She recently told Entertainment Tonight that some of Reba’s cast, including Melissa Peterman, 52, were going to be involved in her forthcoming show.
The NBC sitcom’s pilot, titled Happy’s Place, will feature her as a tavern owner named Bobbie.
“My dad was the owner, and I’ve been running it for the last ten years, and my dad dies,” she told ET of her new starring role.
“So I find out some information at the reading of his will that I’m not too happy with, so…”
The news is that Bobbie’s half-sister, portrayed by Belissa Escobedo, is revealed to be joining her as business as a partner.
Melissa, who played the iconic role of Barbra Jean on Reba, is set to play Gabby – a bartender who wishes she could be Bobbie’s sister.
Executive producers Kevin Abbott, Michael Hanel, and Mindy Schultheis, who all worked on Reba, will be behind the new project.
“It’s the same showrunner, same writers, and same producers as [Reba]. So it’s gonna be that heartfelt, fun, funny, laugh at our silliness, but also be touched by the heart in the show,” Reba explained.
