CELEBRATING LORETTA'S 90TH
4/14/22

Today is Loretta Lynn’s 90th birthday and musicians such as Dolly Parton, Garth Brooks and Maren Morris are celebrating along with Sony Music Entertainment and Legacy Recordings.

Lynn’s fellow musicians, friends and artists (including Carrie Underwood, Carole King and Tanya Tucker) have lensed a special birthday greetings video online where fans can sign a birthday card for Loretta.

In addition, Sony Music is dedicating a blossoming magnolia tree to Loretta outside the Frist Learning Center on the Cheekwood Estate & Gardens grounds in Nashville. A bronze plaque reads: "Loretta Lynn (b. April 14, 1932) / Coal Miner's Daughter / Music Icon / Celebrating Her 90th Birthday."

"For generations of fans, Loretta Lynn is the heart and soul of American country music, the woman who showed us the untapped possibilities of the genre through the genius and direct perspectives of her songs and the integrity of her performances," said Richard Story, President, Commercial Music Group, SME. "Please join me and everyone in the Sony family in wishing Loretta the happiest of birthdays along with a deep appreciation for all the magic, truth and beauty she's shown us through her music over the years."

Lynn is in the process of donating items from her personal archives to the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History. "As a little girl, I could never have imagined that I'd write books and wear dresses that would wind up in the Smithsonian. These are the kinds of things that make me realize what an amazing life I've been given and grateful for what I'm able to share with the world," Lynn said.

She’ll be celebrating her birthday with friends and family. To fans, she says "Thank you, friends, for thinking of me. I'm so happy I get to spend a little more time with you all. My family and I are planning a big dinner and, of course, cake! I love you!"
