What happened to Gloriana? Band member Cheyenne Kimball announces return to spotlight 15 years after exit

The popular country music group, Gloriana, composed of Cheyenne Kimball, Rachel Reinart, and brothers Mike and Tom Gossin, was disbanded in 2016. It was Kimball who was the first one to quit the Gloriana randomly, without letting the other members know, in 2011. Followed by Reinart, who decided to leave the group in 2016 as she wanted to pursue a solo music career. However, fans of Gloriana and Kimball are thrilled to find out that the 34-year-old singer-songwriter will be returning to music.

Gloriana, as a country music group, somehow managed to survive after Kimball decided to quit in 2011; however, when Reinart left in 2016, Gloriana finally collapsed. Before the group got disbanded, they opened for Taylor Swift during her Fearless Tour. It came as a surprise to Gloriana as a music group when Kimball abruptly dropped out without informing them until later she took to X (formerly Twitter) to let them know about her decision.

Similarly, when Rachel Reinart decided to quit the group in 2016, she took to X to inform her fans that she would be leaving Gloriana, as she wanted to pursue a solo career. According to Stage Right Secrets, Reinart even came up with an official statement to Nash Country Weekly, in which she called her decision to leave Gloriana "biggest" and "bravest."

As one of Gloriana's most popular band members, Kimball returns to music after almost 15 years. She officially announced the news and opened up to US Weekly about how she has been doing over the past decade. The Gloriana singer-songwriter, while talking about her unexpected exit from the country music group in 2011, said:

"I struggled a lot just trying to find myself. It wasn’t even about the fact that I’d already had prior success or anything. I thought I would have something to relate to, but I didn’t feel like I had anyone to relate to. I felt very lonely sometimes.

She continued and said:

“I don’t think a lot of people realized how young I was. I didn’t realize how young I was. By the time I was 21, I had just gotten to a point where I needed a break. That’s why I disappeared for a while."

"For the first time in my life, I feel like I’m solid. I’m ready to go, and I have so much to say."
