Colonel Sanders is now a woman and nobody can be dealing

Jade Hayden

The times are a-changing, lads.

And it’s for the better.

Over the past few years, we’ve had all-female Ghostbusters, all-female Oceans 8, and a potential all-female Lord of the Flies. 

There’s women everywhere these days and we are powerless to stop it.

One of the latest brands to launch their all-female reboot is KFC (yes, really) in the form of a Colonel Sanders who is, in fact, a woman.

And not just any woman either – literal Reba McEntire.

There she is there now.

Looking class.

The country-western singer is the first woman to take up the role as the iconic chicken-cooking colonel and she’s definitely done a fire job at it too.

There she is there now.

Breaking it down.

Stunning.

Reba’s ad is the first of many to come promoting the fast-food chain’s Smokey Mountain BBQ fried chicken.

Reba teased her latest gig earlier today by sharing a photo of herself in her makeup chair ready to get into costume.

She’s very convincing, in fairness.

People were only delighted by the new ad too and they took to Twitter to say so.
