statement from CMT producers read.

“She was a true original, a woman who always sang from her heart, never shied
away from challenging the status quo and blazed the path forward for her
fellow female artists,” the statement added. “From her firecracker spirit and
signature musicality to her unmistakable country style and unparalleled
authenticity, we look forward to honoring her in the best way we know how:
sharing stories and songs with her family, friends and the legions of fans
she loved dearly.”

The evening’s event will be hosted by NBC’s “Today” show co-host Jenna Bush
Hager, with performances and appearances from country star Barbara Mandrell,
Lynn’s sister and singer Crystal Gayle, Darius Rucker, Faith Hill, Martina
McBride, Tanya Tucker, and so many more artists to be announced later, the
statement noted.

The “You Ain’t Woman Enough” hitmaker died on October 4 at her home in
Hurricane Mills, Tennessee, as The Daily Wire previously reported. She was
90.

Lynn was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1988, after becoming
a breakout star in the country music industry. She’s probably best known for
her 1970 hit inspired by her Kentucky roots, “Coal Miner’s Daughter.”

Lynn’s husband of 48 years, Oliver Lynn, died in 1996. She is survived by her
daughters Patsy Lynn Russell, Peggy Lynn, Clara (Cissie) Marie Lynn, and her
son Ernest Ray Lynn, as well as her many grandchildren and her great-
grandchildren, the website noted.
