By 1992, Reba McEntire’s long and successful career in country music was unstoppable. So, when her record company contacted her with the new tune “Does He Love You?” they were confident in it. After initial attempts to record a duet with a popular singer like Wynonna Judd or Trisha Yearwood failed, she eventually worked with Linda Davis on the final track. Their combination was so successful that Reba received a Grammy for Best Country Vocal Combination and achieved her 18th number-one song.

Reba and Linda Davies make a strong vocal duet, but she isn’t afraid to play the song with different musicians on stage. She and Kelly Clarkson performed a rendition of the song at CMT Crossroads in 2007. Comments like “These two ladies are fire together” showed how pleased people were with the perfect merging of their voices. “This song has so much emotion in it,” the artist stated in the video, which has now gone viral and received over 11 million views.

The two not only deliver an excellent vocal performance, but they also do their utmost to portray their characters. In character as the song’s devastated widow and longing mistress, the singers targeted their words at each other onstage, giving the appearance that they were fighting. A fan commented: “No matter who Reba sings this with, she always gets into full character and sings it straight from the heart as though she’s having this conversation.” The crowd enjoyed hearing the two of them sing the background song together.

Reba recreated the song in 2021, releasing it alongside country music legend Dolly Parton. Although it was never officially released as a single, the song made it onto two different US country music charts. The two filmed a music video in which they ended a convoluted affair while playing different parts in a pub, and Reba once again showed off her acting abilities. Over six million people have seen the video, with many praising the collaboration between these two musical icons.
