The 2022 CMA Awards opened with a moment that touched every heart in the room—a beautiful tribute to the legendary Loretta Lynn, who passed away on October 4 at the age of 90.
Country icons Miranda Lambert, Reba McEntire, and Carrie Underwood stood side by side on the Nashville stage, delivering a powerful medley of Loretta’s greatest hits. Their voices blended in harmony, honoring a woman who broke barriers and paved the way for countless female artists in country music.
The love for Loretta didn’t stop with the music. Fellow stars shared personal memories that showed just how much she meant to them. One touching reflection compared Loretta to a strong, loving mother figure—loyal, determined, and always true to herself. Carrie Underwood recalled the first time they met at the Grand Ole Opry, laughing as she told the story of Loretta giving her a playful smack on the backside. “She was a cantankerous little pistol,” Carrie said with a smile, “friendly, sweet, and never afraid to be herself.”
Carly Pearce, who dedicated her song “Dear Miss Loretta” to the icon, called her “one of the greatest there ever will be,” while Miranda Lambert praised her for blazing trails for all women in country music.
As the performance ended, the audience—filled with country’s biggest stars—rose to their feet, many with tears in their eyes. It was more than applause; it was a collective thank-you to a woman who reshaped the sound and soul of country music.
Loretta Lynn may no longer be with us, but her legacy lives on through her songs, her spirit, and the artists she inspired. The tribute at the CMAs was not just a farewell—it was a reminder that Loretta will forever be part of the heartbeat of country music.
