Reba McEntire is as vibrant and sparkly as ever post-split.

The 60-year-old country star appeared on The Tonight Show Wednesday, marking her first TV appearance since she and husband Narvel Blackstock, 58, announced their breakup last week.

Sporting a sparkling black scoop neck top, black pants, matching leather, fringed jacket, big hoop earrings and a great big smile, McEntire took the stage as a duet partner for host Jimmy Fallon; the two serenaded an audience member sitting on a stool onstage, at his request.

In their "Close-Up Serenade," the two playfully invaded the man's personal space as they crooned "Just Wanna Spend This Moment."

The singer later performed solo in a glittering gray top, black pants, matching fringed boots and a blue, embellished, lightweight jacket. She sang her new single, "Until They Don't Love You," from her new 27th studio album, Love Somebody.
