George Strait Tops Country Tours for 2010

George Strait's tour with Reba McEntire and Lee Ann Womack comes in as the No. 1 country trek on this year's list of Pollstar's top-grossing tours. The Strait tour, which ranks at No. 14 overall, grossed $41.6 million over the course of 2010.

Reba has been enjoying every moment she has spent on the road with both George and Lee Ann. The idea for them to hit the road occurred when they opened the Dallas Cowboys' new stadium last August, and they had so much fun, they decided to keep the good times rolling on down the highway. "When that went so well, we're all together like, 'Man, let's continue this,'" explains Reba. "I was shocked when George said, 'Well, the spring went good, what do you think about us doing some fall dates?' And I'm like, 'Heck, yeah! I love this!' And so we work very well together. [He's] easy to get along with."

Reba also enjoys performing on his set as well. "I really like the stage George has, and it's kind of square – not really in-the-round, but square," she says. "And I really enjoy working that stage. I like to go around it and ... you're closer to everyone that way. I love it!" The three will once again hit the road next year. Their first date is in Austin, Texas on January 14.
