Episode Details

Dolly Parton opens up about her profound bond with the late Loretta Lynn, recalling how she was honored to be asked to be Miley Cyrus’s godmother in 1992. Their connection deepened through Miley’s Hannah Montana TV show, where Dolly played “Aunt Dolly” in a fictional feud with Mamaw Ruthie over Elvis. The musical ties are equally strong—Miley covered Dolly’s “Jolene,” Dolly joined her on “Rainbowland,” and Miley even re-recorded “Wrecking Ball” for Dolly’s 2023 album Rockstar. Their last live duet of “Jolene” together was at Miley’s New Year’s Eve special in 2022. Beyond music, their relationship was family, and Dolly’s tribute underscores Loretta’s lasting legacy.
