Dolly Parton and Miley Cyrus share a strong bond as godmother and goddaughter, their closeness evident during their joint performance at Miley Cyrus’ New Year’s Eve Party Special. However, Miley Cyrus had previously disclosed an interesting incident where Dolly Parton successfully dissuaded her from pursuing a style transformation for the year-end.
During a friendly conversation on The Today Show, Miley shared an amusing anecdote about Dolly Parton’s reaction to her hair transformation plans. With a relaxed tone, Miley revealed that she had playfully announced to Dolly that she was considering dyeing her hair brunette at the end of the year. To her surprise, Dolly exhibited an amusingly exaggerated response, clutching her pearls and gasping as if she had received devastating news. In a comically possessive manner, Dolly exclaimed, “You can’t do that, you ARE me!” It became clear that Dolly viewed Miley as an extension of herself, making it impossible for Miley to deviate from her signature blonde locks.
Dolly has always been candid about her close bond with Billy Ray Cyrus and how their friendship eventually led to her becoming Miley’s godmother. In an interview with Sirius XM’s Just Jenny show, Dolly revealed that Billy Ray opened some of her shows and even appeared in a music video for her song Romeo. Their shared rural upbringing and love for country music brought them together, and when Miley entered the picture, Dolly knew she had to be her fairy godmother.
The recent duets performed by Dolly and Miley during a New Year’s Eve special have garnered high praise from fans on Twitter. Many have deemed it as one of the most incredible performances of all time. One enthusiastic Twitter user even went as far as calling Miley an icon and a legendary performer, stating that she surpasses all others she shares the stage with and is undoubtedly one of the greatest vocalists of our time.
Another individual chimed in, hailing the Miley Cyrus and Dolly Parton medley as an exceptional and timeless performance. Meanwhile, a different commenter expressed their motive for tuning in, confessing that they couldn’t help but switch channels just to witness Miley and Dolly’s extraordinary duets. They further advocated for Miley’s return to her country roots, acknowledging her remarkable vocal talents and emphasizing Dolly’s consistent ability to mesmerize her audience.
