Reyna Roberts is an American country singer-songwriter and pianist. She was featured on Beyoncé's single "Blackbiird", which charted at #27 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was nominated for two People's Choice Country Awards in 2024. She was the first female country artist to ever perform at a Rolling Loud music festival, and she has shared the stage with Luke Combs and Orville Peck and toured with Reba McEntire and Jamey Johnson. Her single "Stompin' Grounds" was featured multiple times on ESPN's Monday Night Football.
One of the few visible Black women in country music, Roberts is known for advocating for "acknowledging the past" of country music, which includes acknowledging Black artist mentors such as Lesley Riddle, and learning the history of the banjo and the term "Music City" for Nashville. In 2024, Roberts won a Hollywood Independent Music Award in the Country (Crossover) category.
