Chapel Hart was back on the Grand Ole Opry Stage Saturday with a fun tribute to country music legend Loretta Lynn.

The trio from Poplarville, Mississippi sparkled in hot pink and sang three songs for the live audience in Nashville.

They began the performance with a moving ode to Patsy Cline before belting out Loretta Lynn’s classic, “Don’t Come Home A’ Drinkin’.”

“Tonight, we’re going to be honoring some of the women who have trailblazed ... this Opry stage,” Danica Hart said. She and her sister, Devyn, and their cousin Trae Swindle make up Chapel Hart.

The women are on a mission to break barriers in the country music industry, they said during their “America’s Got Talent” audition that made them a household name across the U.S.

Chapel Hart is working on a cover of Lynn’s “Fist City” after the icon asked them to remake one of her songs. Lynn died in her sleep earlier this month.

“We lost a legend, but for what we’ve lost is heaven’s gain,” Devyn Hart told the crowd.

The women ended the night with their modern-day take on Dolly Parton’s hit song “Jolene.” Their version, “You Can Have Him Jolene,” earned golden buzzers from Howie Mandel, Sofia Vergara, Heidi Klum and Simon Cowell on “AGT.”
