Reba McEntire has distanced herself from a campaign fundraiser for South Dakota's Republican governor, Kristi Noem. The event invitation claimed the country star and the artist that discovered her, Red Steagall, would appear as special guests.

"Last night, an invitation to a political fundraiser with my name attached was sent out without my knowledge or permission," McEntire wrote on social media. "I had and have no plans to attend this event and had told the event organizers as such. Throughout my career, I have stated that I do not get involved in politics and that remains true today."
Stephen Sanchez, an Emmy-winning journalist for CBS News, broke the story on Thursday (June 10) by tweeting the ad for a June 13 event at the Spur Cross Ranch in Gallatin Gateway, Montana.
