McEntire also spoke about her upcoming box set Revived Remixed Revisited, which features 30 of her biggest hits.

'I've kind of lived with these for so many years, and then to get to go back into [the studio] and re-record them, re-sing them, I really enjoyed it,' she said.

When asked what she enjoyed the most, 'Just being back in the studio. I love the creativity of it. Even though it is songs I've recorded before, we're doing it in a different way.'
