Podcaster Megyn Kelly also commented on Turner’s impact.

“She seemed like too strong a life force. She overcame…everything. Embodied strength, resilience, beauty, sass, warmth, dignity, TALENT! Along w/so many, I will treasure her music & legacy forever,” she wrote.

“Turner became one of her era’s most enduring female artists, with smash hits like ‘What’s Love Got to Do With It?’ and memorable movie appearances,” ABC News reported. Her top song hit number in 1984 and led to her Grammy award in 1985 for record of the year.
