But while Reba was celebrating her hair color, some users felt her timing was off. With Election Day falling on the same date and the 2024 election stirring strong emotions across the country, her post didn't sit well with everyone. Many argued that, with so much at stake for the nation, Reba’s focus on National Redhead Day missed the mark.
The replies rolled in fast, with some users humorously scolding her for her timing. One person quipped, "Reba, you know what we're not going to do today? We're not going to talk about your hairstyle." Another user, an apparent Kamala Harris supporter, commented, "We will celebrate redheads tomorrow. It’s only blue heads today."
Despite the backlash, Reba’s post remains up, and she hasn’t responded to the criticism. The attention seems to be working in her favor, though; as of now, her redhead celebration photos have racked up 6.7 million views.
