Before Reba McEntire and Rex Linn began their whirlwind relationship, the two went out to dinner with a group of friends, brought together thanks to "Young Sheldon." The couple would later refer to it as their first date, even though they didn't know it was a first date. When the server rattled off a list of appetizers and tater tots were mentioned, the country singer raised her hand in a vote for the classic, hot and crunchy potato snack.
McEntire shared on "The Jennifer Hudson Show" that her love of tater tots kicked off a whole thing. "Rex said, 'That's your nickname from here on out,'" she recalled of her beau's affectionate name for her, Tater Tot. The singer also confirmed that she has a special nickname for Linn that complements it: Sugar Tot. "We're The Tots," she declared. "Sugar and Tater." Indeed, the couple playfully teased their pet names for each other on Instagram.
"The Tots, Sugar and Tater, have taken up farming. Meet Mr. Pecker," the four-time CMA Vocalist of the Year winner posted, along with a photo of the celebrity couple and their rooster. Linn liberally uses the hashtags #TheTots and #TaterTot whenever he posts about McEntire, too. "Queen #TaterTot takes her throne tonight on the season 24 premiere of #TheVoice!" he captioned a photo of his lady love while promoting her appearance on the show.
