Dolly Parton is remembering two fellow country music stars that held a special place in her heart- Naomi Judd and Loretta Lynn.

During Thursday night’s Academy of Country Music Awards’ segment remembering country music artists who are no longer with us, Parton took a moment to pay tribute to the “two women who were like sisters to [her].” Parton called both Judd and Lynn “the real G.O.A.T.” then went on to recall the similarities between her and Judd.

She added that they both have a love for big hair and makeup, but “most importantly, we love each other.” Parton, 77, then went on to sing a verse from the classic hymn— Alan Jackson’s “Precious Memories”.

The touching tribute warmed Parton’s fellow co-host, Garth Brooks, as he applauded her performance and raised his cowboy hat in the air.
