Not only were the three women present at the wedding, but they also served as bridesmaids.

And while it might seem as though starring alongside each other in “Reba” sparked Swisher’s respect for McEntire, it actually started long before. In her interview with Glamour, she admitted that she was excited to find out she would be working alongside McEntire in “Reba.” Swisher recalled, “When I found out that she was being considered for the role and wanted to do it, I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, this is a dream come true!’ … She’s a queen.”
