Dolly Parton is one of several country music artists speaking out on the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who passed away on Friday, September 18. She was 87 years old at the time of her death.

“She was small in stature but even the tallest looked up to her,” Dolly posted on social media. “Her voice was soft but her message rang loud and clear and will echo forever. Thank you, RBG. Rest In Peace. Respectfully, Dolly Parton.”

Trisha Yearwood also shared her thoughts on the loss of one of the country’s most historic figures.

“In 1974, women gained the right to get a credit card in their own names with the passage of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act,” Trisha wrote. “The law made credit card companies issue cards to women without a husband’s signature, which gave more women power over their personal finances.”

Travis Tritt spoke about Ginsburg’s unlikely friendship with former Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who had an unlikely friendship with Ginsburg until his death in 2016, in spite of their political differences.

“I’m so saddened over what has happened to open political discourse,” Travis said. “Supreme court justices Scalia and Ginsburg disagreed on almost all political decisions and yet, they had a very close personal friendship. God, how I long for those days again. #RIPRBG”
