Here's a snippit from an article on CMT.com about the ceremony:

After the crowd had spent over two hours taking in bravura performances from one musical legend after another, it seemed like nothing could take them by surprise, but they hadn't yet been introduced to the Coal Miner's Daughter. Lee Ann Womack started off the segment, stepping onto the stage with her flowing white dress and platinum locks like a honky-tonk angel whose mission of the moment was to spread the gospel according to Loretta. She delivered the message in a note-perfect rendition of Lynn's 1966 smash, "You Ain't Woman Enough." Womack's voice rang out sweet and clear on the classic tough-gal anthem, but there was no way it could prepare the audience for what was to come.
After her performance, Womack stepped to the dais to deliver an introduction extolling Lynn as a feminist force in country music and an artist who wrote about the realities women faced across the nation in such songs as "Don't Come Home A-Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)" and "The Pill." She went on to underscore Lynn's continued relevance today, pointing to her successful 2004 collaboration with the White Stripes' Jack White on the Van Lear Rose album. In case anyone needed further convincing, Womack tallied up the honky-tonk heroine's string of hit songs and No. 1 singles and albums. At this point, the lady in question appeared on the stage, resplendent in a long, light-blue, spangle-bedecked dress with puffed shoulders, looking like the proverbial cat that ate the canary. She admitted that she'd had her fill of awards shows, but when she heard this one was centered around songwriting, she was eager to attend, observing that the honor meant "more to me than any award I've ever gotten for singing." .... - http://www.cmt.com/news/country-music/1589734/loretta-lynn-steals-the-show-at-songwriters-hall-of-fame-induction.jhtml
