One fan wrote, "[Reba] and [Darius Rucker] so glad to see you even if it has to be on my big screen!" A second added, "Dude [Darius] and [Reba] bringing some class to the [Country Music] awards stage. They both look awesome!"
A third admirer wrote, "Reba McEntire never ages!! She looks amazing!!!" Meanwhile, a fourth viewer added, "Just have [Darius Rucker] laugh for the next 3 hours and I'll have such a pleasant night."
Unfortunately, the reception wasn't all positive. As one critical viewer wrote, "Reba and Darius are cringy together."
Another person wished Underwood and Paisley were hosting, writing "I love Reba and Darius, but can't say that I don't miss Carrie and Brad."
Another person wrote, "Darius and Reba is just not doing it for me can I have Carrie and brad back?"More generally, another Twitter user was not impressed with their joint monologue, adding, "love Reba and [Darius Rucker] but that was the worst opening dialogue ever."
Others were surprised that producers recruited Rucker for the gig. As one Twitter user wrote, "Darius Rucker does not strike me as the hosting type. I'm surprised they chose him for this."
Despite all of this blowback, most people seemed overall pleased with the pairing. As one person wrote, "Honestly big props to Reba and Darius. No way it's easy presenting in front of that few people."
