At Miley Cyrus' New Year's Eve special this yr, she and Dolly Parton performed a now-iconic mashup of Wrecking Ball and I Will Always Love You. "I love seeing/hearing them perform together. I think their voices compliment each other well," a fan wrote on Reddit.
They added: "Dolly seems to have been a very positive influence for Miley throughout her life and their interactions are charming and wholesome. If only Aunt Dolly could be everyone's fairy godmother 🥲"
As Cyrus' godmother, Parton has indeed been supportive of her profession, particularly amid the controversies similar to her relationship with Liam Hemsworth.
In December 2022, the Hannah Montana alum even shared that the ten-time Guinness World record holder "clutched her pearls" when she mentioned she was going brunette. "I've never seen Dolly actually scared before. She acted like I told her the worst news you can imagine," Cyrus said of Parton's reaction.
"She clutched her pearls, gasped, and went back and she goes, 'You can't do that. You are me,'" she continued. But when it comes to food, the two are under no circumstances the same individual. The country singer would possibly not even eat anything cooked by the Flowers hitmaker. Here's why.
Parton knew that she had to be Cyrus' godmother the moment she came alongside. "I worked with Billy Ray for all those years, when he had Achy Breaky Heart," the Jolene songstress recalled in a 2019 interview with SiriusXM's Just Jenny. "He worked with me on some shows we did in the early days. He opened some of my shows. We just got to know each other."
She added: "I wrote a song called Romeo, and had him in a video. We just kind of gelled, 'cause we're both country kids. We had a lot of fun just talking about that. And then when Miley came along, I said, 'She's got to be my fairy goddaughter.'" That identical yr, Parton instructed People that she'd "rather live an example" than constantly give existence recommendation to Cyrus.
"[I'd rather] be an example rather than just try to tell somebody to do this, do that because I don't think that's right," she explained. "Everybody's different. You've got your own journey. And some people are going to help you along the way and they can kick a few rocks out of the road for you, but you got to walk it."
In May 2023, Parton introduced the whole roster of artists featured on her upcoming first rock album, Rockstar. It comprises the likes of Elton John, Sting, Steven Tyler, Stevie Nicks, Lizzo, and of course, her goddaughter Cyrus. A observation on her web site read: "Dolly Parton has joined forces with some of Rock music's most legendary artists along with today's biggest stars for her first-ever rock album, Rockstar."
"Inspired by her 2022 induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Dolly teamed up with an all-star roster of musicians for the 30-song collection which includes 9 original tracks and 21 iconic Rock anthems." Cyrus identify used to be featured on the right track 14, in Parton's extremely anticipated rendition of her hit, Wrecking Ball.
Early this 12 months, Parton said she used to be happy with the The Last Song big name's unmarried, Flowers from her album Endless Summer Vacation. "Yes! I love that song," the 9 to 5 actress mentioned of the post-breakup anthem. "Miley is so great. I mean, I just am so proud of her as a singer and songwriter."
She persevered: "I don't know who wrote that, but I have a feeling she had plenty to do with it. It was her story if not her actual writing, but she's a great songwriter and a great singer, but yeah, I think it's a fantastic song. 'I can hold my own hand, I can buy my own flowers,' you know what a great idea for a song, who needs you? You know?"
There is no doubt, Parton will all the time love Cyrus' track. But anything cooked by her? No. In a up to date Zoom interview with Insider to promote her new line of Southern treats with Duncan Hines, she shared some insights into the Malibu singer's cooking taste. "I doubt I'd eat much of anything that Miley cooks 'cause it would have no taste," she published.
Parton admitted that "Even if she cooked me something, I'm sure I'd have to doctor it up a little for myself. I would have to have some bacon grease." But she clarified that it is only as a result of "Miley's trying to watch what she eats now — she's gone through a lot of phases of being vegetarian or being vegan or whatever."
"But in the earlier days," she added, "or when her defenses are down, we still eat that good ol' food like meatloaf." As for her personal vitamin, Parton mentioned her Southern breakfasts all the time include eggs and no matter she seems like including nowadays. "I just cook whatever comes to mind and whatever I'm in the mood for," she stated. "I can cook any of it."
