At the 2011 ACM Girls Night Out: Superstar Women of Country special, some of country music’s biggest female stars came together to honor the trailblazing Loretta Lynn.

Reba McEntire, Miranda Lambert, Martina McBride, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Nettles, and the Judds all shared the stage for a stirring rendition of Lynn’s timeless “Coal Miner’s Daughter.”

From the moment the first note rang out, the atmosphere shifted—each voice adding depth, admiration, and emotion to the song. What started as a tribute quickly became a moving celebration of Loretta’s legacy, leaving the audience on their feet with thunderous applause.

Though Loretta couldn’t attend due to knee surgery, she sent a heartfelt video message, ensuring her presence was felt. Even more than a decade later, fans still remember this unforgettable performance.

One fan said, “You ladies did amazing!! It felt like you rolled right out of a holler with that song!” Another added, “The smiles, the standing ovation—this was a perfect tribute!”

It was a night where the power of women in country music shone as brightly as Loretta Lynn herself.
