Tributes to Country Singer Loretta Lynn Pour In From Fellow Musicians After Her Death

Fellow musicians are mourning the loss of country singer Loretta Lynn.

Singer Reba McEntire posted a tribute to Loretta Lynn on her Instagram and also spoke about the comparison Lynn had to her mother Jacqueline, who died in 2020, according to People.

“Mama and Loretta Lynn were four years apart, Mama being the oldest. They always reminded me a lot of each other. Strong women, who loved their children and were fiercely loyal,” she wrote.

Continuing, she wrote, “Now they’re both in Heaven getting to visit and talk about how they were raised, how different 🎸Country music is now from what it was when they were young. Sure makes me feel good that Mama went first so she could welcome Loretta into the hollers of heaven!”

McEntire concluded her post by crediting Lynn for paving the way for her and other female musicians.

“I always did and I always will love Loretta. She was always so nice to me. I sure appreciate her paving the rough and rocky road for all us girl singers,” she wrote.

Singer Dolly Parton also posted a tribute on her Instagram to her “sister” and “friend.”

“So sorry to hear about my sister, friend Loretta. We’ve been like sisters all the years we’ve been in Nashville and she was a wonderful human being, wonderful talent, had millions of fans and I’m one of them. I miss her dearly as we all will. May she rest in peace,” she wrote.
