The duo we didn’t know we needed.
The 94th Academy Awards are underway tonight, and while the Oscars tends to be a ass-kissing Hollywood snoozefest, full of self-righteous millionaires grandstanding about the causes, but tonight… at least Reba was there.
Introduced by Mila Kunis, Reba performed her Oscar-nominated “Somehow You Do,” from the film Four Good Days.
The performance was dedicated to the people of Ukraine:
The Academy Awards addressed Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine halfway through Sunday’s ceremony.
After a performance from Reba McEntire, the show cut to a moment of silence with title cards announcing the Oscars’ support for Ukrainians. https://t.co/b8kwZHIIUU pic.twitter.com/6GrEXYUhlC

But, it was Travis Barker and Reba McEntire sharing the stage that stole the show.
The band also featured Kevin Jonas on guitar, Robert Randolph on the pedal steel, Adam Blackstone, Sheila E. Robert Glasper, and more.
And Twitter was LOVING it:
Travis Barker and Reba in the same band. My childhood worlds are colliding. #Oscars
