Episode Details

Kesha took the Pittsburgh stage and paid heartfelt tribute to Dolly Parton by performing a moving cover of “Old Flames (Can’t Hold a Candle to You)” — a song co-written by her own mother, Pebe Sebert. The track, originally released in 1978 and famously popularized by Dolly in the early 80s, holds deep personal meaning for Kesha, who also revealed it was recorded during one of her toughest legal battles — a time when Dolly’s support felt like divine intervention. Their collaboration dates back to 2017, when Dolly featured on a duet version from Kesha’s Rainbow album. Kesha even made a personal rule: she won’t release any music Dolly wouldn’t approve of — seeing her as a guiding force in her career. Dolly, who calls the song one of her favorites, was instantly supportive when she learned Kesha wanted to honor her mom’s legacy with this performance.
