Loretta Lynn was honored earlier this week with the Kris Kristofferson Lifetime Achievement Award at the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame Awards at the Ryman Auditorium.

Loretta was honored with tributes by Reba McEntire, who performed “You Win’t Woman Enough To Take My Man,” as well as Kellie Pickler, who performed “I’m A Honky Tonk Girl,” and Loretta’s granddaughter Tayla, who performed her signature tune, “Coal Miner’s Daughter.”

After being escorted on stage by Kid Rock, Loretta told the audience, “I’m Loretta. I want y’all to know I love you for being here tonight. Thank you all, I love you.”

But Loretta wasn’t the night’s only honoree. George Strait was also honored with the President’s Keystone Award. “I think songwriting is a gift from God,” he told the audience. “I’ve leaned on [songwriters] for years and they’ve been kind enough to send me some great songs to record and I really appreciate it.”

Tributes to George included a performance of “Here For A Good Time,” and “The Chair,” from Dean Dillon, who has written songs for George for more than 40 years, as well as a medley of “Carried Away” and “Carrying Your Love With Me,” performed by Steve Bogard and Jeff Stevens.

The night’s other honorees included: Luke Combs for Songwriter-Artist of the Year and Josh Osborne, for Songwriter of The Year.
