Tuesday night Chely Wright hosted her annual benefit concert at the Wildhorse Saloon to raise money for her Reading, Writing and Rhythm Foundation, and without a doubt, the highlight of the evening was when Chely's people literally surprised her by bringing Loretta Lynn out on stage to sing with her. As if that wasn't enough, halfway through singing Coal Miner's Daughter, Loretta summoned Sissy Spacek to the stage.

Chely attempted to jump in on a few lines of "Coal Miner's Daughter," but was so stunned and thrilled that for the most part she just stood there soaking up what was going on. At one point she said, "I can die now. I can absolutely die. My favorite actress and my favorite singer/songwriter on stage together. I need to go lay down."
