Pretty sure the director was saying, "Dolly's winging it. We'll stay with her however long she wants to go". Love that she was moved to honor those we've lost with her wonderful voice.

One thing is for sure when Dolly is moved and goes off script no one is going to stop her. I just ❤ her.

[kittyblak]

And Dolly just made another precious memory 🥰🙏 RIP Loretta and Naomi, no more suffering no more pain 🌹🌹.

[joannaaguilar]

Thank God for the precious memories of noami and Loretta Lynn we miss and love them both amen

[peaceloveandunderstanding]

Rest in peace with the angels, Loretta and Naomi. I'm running out of superlatives for Dolly. What a magnificent human being she is.

[kathyx]

The look on Randy Travis’s face as Dolly sang is priceless. I would almost describe it as pure happiness.

[light_and_sound]

Dolly, you can do that anytime. What a precious treat for us to hear you sing that cherished hymn in memoriam of your departed friends. Garth looked so blown away too! ❤ U Dolly!

[karenbass]

Our East Tennessee girl can & will do what needs doing. That she spontaneously sang this precious hymn in memory of those who passed away is so touching.

[robinmarie]

I'm so thankful we still have Dolly. 💗

[royhoskins]

Garth was shocked by her sudden performance of the song. The look on his face was pure shock !! ❤❤❤❤❤

[PixieyDust]

This really feels so authentic and full of love. Very fitting for mothers day. For all of us who lost our moms. Hugs to you all.

[coachbillturpin]

That was so magical. Spirtual. I miss these kind of heartfelt moments.

[elizabethgs]

Dolly always brings it what a beautiful tribute

[joymcdonald]

Dolly how beautiful that was. You are a true treasure

[PositiveZ]

How does she still sounds so good?!?!? Love her

[rickypilcher]

There's absolutely NO ONE better than Dolly!

[MTknitter]

All Dolly did was bring back some of the spirit that used to characterize these Country Music Award shows - in abundance - every year. It was that way because the industry’s top stars were pretty much all men and women of faith and were never ashamed to show love of God and country. Bless you Dolly. Loretta gone on Home and when Dolly leaves us, that will close the door to the true golden years of real American Country Music.

[porchswingdesignsmarilou]

One of my favorite hymns and Dolly sang it beautifully.

[lolitadoss]

I love Dolly, Loretta, Garth and Naomi. I'm a Nashvillian. I first met Dolly at her summer home. She supported our band and we got to play at a brunch she threw. Such a great memory. Thank you, Dolly, such a beautiful soul. ❤

[coachbillturpin]

What I loved about this was the sincerity in the moment. Everyone was sincere: Dolly, Garth, the crowd. Dolly is a QUEEN!!!

She really rocked this show.

What is there not to love about her?
