Country music in the 1960s had room for one female star at a time. The industry assumed Parton and Lynn were competing for that position. They weren't. The two met in Nashville in the 1960s when both were just getting started and recognized immediately what the other was doing. In 2019, Lynn tweeted about Parton's 50th Grand Ole Opry anniversary: "She's my mountain sister. I love her music, and I will always love her." Parton had posted a throwback photo captioned "Friends forever." Lynn replied: "Love you, honey."

Lynn never thought she was doing anything radical. She told Parade in 2021: "I just write what I feel, what is going on with me and my life. It just happened that a lot of other women felt the same. I would never set out to write something just for it to shock someone; I am not that clever. It's always been about truth, and if that means radio wants to ban it, well that's their problem. Most of my records they banned became No. 1 anyway." Parton saw exactly what that truth cost and what it gave back.

The Woman Who Changed What Country Music Could Say
Loretta Lynn was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1988. The Chicks, Reba McEntire, Miranda Lambert and Kacey Musgraves all trace a direct line to what she did. She didn't set out to change the culture. She set out to tell the truth about it. The culture changed anyway.
Loretta Lynn called Dolly Parton her mountain sister. Dolly Parton called Loretta Lynn her hero. For more than six decades, one gave country music its warmth and one gave it its nerve.
