The "Queen of Country," 67, took to the CMA stage to sing a heartfelt tribute to her friend Loretta Lynn, alongside Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert, wearing the same green fringe suit she wore on tour in 1995. The singer wrote on Twitter, "You know I love a #throwbackthursday!!! Sandi Spika designed this fringed green western suit for my 1995 tour and we pulled it out of the archives for last night's #cmaawards #lorettalynn tribute!" The outfit features green fringe hanging from both sides of the jacket's lapels, along with emerald sequined detailing on the lapels as well as the sleeves. It also comes with matching emerald sequin boots that stop just below her knees.
