There's a new Colonel in town.

KFC's famous and widely loved Colonel Sanders is being played by woman first the very first time. When she's not enjoying some finger lickin' good chicken, she's on stage singing her country classics.

Grammy nominated Reba McEntire is the newest face behind the white moustache.

Announced in a video posted on Twitter by KFC on Friday, the ad shows McEntire singing about the brand's new Smoky Mountain BBQ flavour chicken while dressed in the iconic all-white suit. She even makes a cameo herself.

McEntire joins a distinguished list of celebrities to play the mustachioed man, including Rob Lowe, Billy Zane and Ray Liotta.
