After Loretta Lynn died, many celebrities came out with their own special stories of their encounters with the country music legend. Jenna Bush Hager was able to interview Loretta a few years ago and receive a very memorable guitar lesson from her.
During the interview, Loretta decided to teach Jenna how to play the guitar. Jenna explained, “She said, โNow Jenna, use your middle finger. And I said, ‘I’ve used that once or twice.’ And she said, ‘That’s why I told you to use it.'”

Carrie recalled a time when she was first stepping into the music industry. She said she was talking to someone else when Loretta walked by and smacked her on the rear end! Carrie shared, “This is one of my most favorite stories to tell. I think it sums up her personality pretty well. She was a cantankerous little pistolโฆfriendly and sweetโฆnever afraid to be herself and speak her mind.”
She continued, “Over the years, I have had the honor of singing for herโฆand also with herโฆin some of the most special moments of my career. She is irreplaceable. She will be incredibly missedโฆbut her legacy lives on in those of us whom she has influenced.”
