Loretta Lynn will turn 87 on April 14th, but she celebrated the big day early, with a star-studded tribute concert at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena earlier this week.
Monday’s show featured 28 performances from artists such as Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood, Keith Urban, Jack White, Alan Jackson, Miranda Lambert, Kacey Musgraves, Cam, Brandi Carlile, George Strait, Little Big Town, Tanya Tucker and many, many more.
Highlights of the night included Garth and Trisha collaborating on “After The Fire Is Gone,” as well as Alan Jackson and LeAnn Womackperforming “Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man.” Loretta’s good friend, and producer, Jack White sang “Have Mercy” and teamed with Margo Price for “Portland, Oregon,” while Keith, who popped out of a cake to sing “Happy Birthday” to Loretta, also performed “Blue Kentucky Girl,” Brandi performed “She’s Go You,” Kacey performed "You Ain't Woman Enough (To Take My Man)" and Miranda performed “Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind).”
The show also featured the debut of Brandi’s all-girl group, the Highwoman, feauturing Amanda Shires, Maren Morris and Natalie Hemby, with the group performing Kitty Wells’ “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels,” which was eventually recorded by Loretta.
Of course the biggest highlight of the night was Loretta herself, who, with the help of some friends and sister Crystal Gayle, closed the three-hour show with her signature song “Coal Miner’s Daughter.” Check out some of the performances below.
