Kacey Musgraves paid tribute to the late Loretta Lynn, while Stapleton teamed up with Stevie Wonder to honor Smokey Robinson and Barry Gordy.
10 year old me singing Loretta’s songs would never have imagined I’d be putting my hands right where she made magic for decades. (Her 1963 Epiphone was a dream to play.) Thank you to @LorettaLynn’s daughters for trusting me with this moment of honor tonight. She paved my path. pic.twitter.com/x06OOD2N5o
