A number of country stars—including Dolly Parton, Tim McGraw, Trisha Yearwood and more—shared their thoughts via social media after the passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died on Sept. 18 at the age of 87.

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

Maren Morris via Twitter: “The O.G of law and order. RIP RBG.”

Carly Pearce via Twitter: “Women belong in all places where decisions are being made”

Tim McGraw via Twitter: “Rest in power, RBG. Thankful for your service, wisdom and devotion to justice.”

Travis Tritt via Twitter: “I’m so saddened over what has happened to open political discourse. 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”

Trisha Yearwood via Twitter: “I am gutted. RIP RBG. Power, grace, leadership, strength. 2020 you are literally the worst. #dissent #NotoriusRBG”
