LeAnn Rimes Cibrian is without a doubt the talk of the town with her intense acting as the hard ‘Dixie’ in the soon-to-be aired series ‘911 Nashville by ABC’ or the next chapter of the beloved series. The singer who won a Grammy award is the one who unveiled the very strong emotions filled scene from the show and brought forth a character that is completely opposite of her real self, all of which resulted in the public being enchanted by her acting and giving the actress an over the top amount of positive reactions. The video clip does a great job in showing the strained, aggressive and problematic nature of the relationship between LeAnn’s character and Jessica Capshaw’s ‘Blythe’, which hints more trouble in this new plot.

In the promo, LeAnn Rimes Cibrian’s character Dixie is very rude and offensive. She accuses the other character of not keeping an old deal and breaking the barriers. The woman retorts impassioned, ‘Just because these guys are working together doesn’t mean that the rules we set 20 years ago are not the same.’ Asking what those regulations are, she answers, ‘The first one is that you have to stay away from my husband. The second one is you don’t come near me.’ The argument concludes with a refusal, ‘Oh sweetheart. I have encountered issues. The thing is, are you going to act like that?’ This huge exposure is a revealing one and it also shows the least-known part of the singer’s character.
The reactions to her acting performance have included many, but the one and the most praising has been the general positive response that has led to the recognition and even admiration of her tough representation by numerous people. A spectator pointed out the meta-humor in the dialogue, sharing, ‘I did giggle a little at “I’m so proud of Blue”.. that’s very meta.’ They added that the on-screen conflict between the two would most likely lead the viewers to ‘ship these two,’ thus revealing the instant chemistry and disagreement.
Another comment hit the nail on the head in a superb manner, revealing the intricate nature that the singer-actor sometimes is regarded as a dual character, ‘Soooooo good! You are like the most loving person off-screen but I am really frightened of you now.’ This idea was also backed by another user who humorously said, ‘Oh SHIT who is this “Dixie”? and what have you done with my LeAnn Rimes,’ obviously indicating the huge disparity between the usual soft look of the singer and the hardened look of her character.
On the other hand, some criticisms were blended with approbation and one such critique was from a self-proclaimed local who absolutely and frankly said that the accents were terrible, ‘Love you but being a local it is unwatchable. Please, help them with the accent already.’ This generated some playful yet short back-and-forth where the original commenter argued that her accent was just like her roots, demonstrating the occasionally intense and divided views that emerge when a show is set in a specific location.
LeAnn Rimes Cibrian has been quite blessed with the number of her admirers and they have all together expressed their happiness in seeing her indulge in the artistic side of things. One follower exclaimed, ‘What is this series? Where can I watch it?! I’m a huge Leann Rimes music fan but acting too?! Wow! Can’t wait to see her!’ This was a typical reaction, with many fans confessing that they were watching ‘911’ purely because of her, which shows how much of a pull she is for the new series.
One more fan traveled back to the past, ‘So thrilled for this LeAnn!! Once blue came out I loved you .. and I loved you In holiday in your heart (one of my fave Xmas movies) and in northern lights … so I am soooooo stoked for this!!’ This shows the long-lasting relationship that she has had with her fans through both music and movies and still the fans continue to be eager for her new project.
The teaser did quite well to tease the conflict of the show and thus raised the viewers’ interest in the core conflict of the show. A viewer who is brand new asked the question, ‘Wow! I’ve never watched this show before but it definitely looks interesting! What is the longstanding feud between these two??’ The question shows that the promo clip managed to create dynamic characters that are so attractive that they pull in potential audiences.
