The music of Loretta Lynn returns Sunday night to the Grammy Awards.

Six-time Grammy winner Kacey Musgraves plans to tribute to the late coal miner's daughter during this year's memoriam segment, the Record Academy announced days before the show. She'll sing Lynn's marquee song, "Coal Miner's Daughter" on an Epiphone guitar once owned by Lynn, the latter's family confirmed earlier this month on social media.

"The @RecordingAcad were so special to Loretta," Lynn's family shared on Twitter. "She was nominated or won an award every decade (multiple times) for [six[ decades in a row! Amazing. ... We are touched that her guitar will be on that stage tomorrow night. Thank you Grammys, thank you Kacey."
