She ran through "Jolene," "Just Because I'm a Woman" and "Eagle When She Flies" with the Highwomen, as well as performed "I Will Always Love You" with Carlile.
Parton, the Highwomen and other special guests like Sheryl Crow, Maggie Rogers and Lucy Dacus closed out the set with a rendition of "9 to 5."
