Country music artists are speaking out about the loss of Loretta Lynn. The Country Music Hall of Fame member was 90 years old when she passed away peacefully at her ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee.
“She showed us all how to unapologetically tell the truth,” Carly Pearce tweeted. “One of the greatest there ever will be. I’ll be singing ‘Dear Miss Loretta‘ with a little extra love tonight at the Opry. Now she really is a Honky Tonk Angel.”
