Fans Can’t Get Over ‘Pioneer Woman’ Ree Drummond’s ‘Scary’ Throwback Photos

Ree Drummond

The Pioneer Woman star Ree Drummond was reminiscing on her youth performing as a ballerina as she shared new throwback photos with fans, but some had an unexpected reaction to the old pics.

Drummond shared two photos of herself from years back on Instagram, looking elegant in a beautiful dress and pointe shoes, posing on stage. She captioned the update, "Ree Ree in 1986.??."

"This is an impressionist painting! Beautiful," declared one fan, as many more felt the same way, with compliments like, "Look at that elegant poised stance!" and "Should definitely frame this! Looks like a painting! Very elegant! ??."

"We need to be see more pics of this era!!" said another.

Quite a few noted that, at first glance, they thought the photos were of her 26-year-old daughter Alex, calling the two women "twins" and saying, "You could’ve told me this was Alex and I wouldn’t have doubted you for a moment!"

But there were also a few people taken aback by the low-quality photos at first, with one person honestly admitting, "Not going to lie, I thought this was a post for a scary old timey psychological horror movie."

The comment got a lot of likes and Drummond even commented back, replying with a laughing-crying emoji, "??." Considering the snaps were from 1986, it's not surprising that they aren't the best quality, and Drummond seemed to appreciate the fan sharing their immediate reaction.

Back in 2020, Drummond shared another look at her past as a ballerina as she stood with a few other girls dressed in a white outfit featuring a flat pancake tutu and the signature pointe shoes, calling ballet her "passion."

Despite her history as a dancer, Drummond ended up going in a very different direction with her career, becoming an icon in the food and lifestyle world with her hit show, The Pioneer Woman.
