Dolly Parton shared her ideas on collaborating with singer Sabrina Carpenter on their duet model of the pop star’s hit “Please Please Please” — and revealed she had one large floor rule relating to language.
“Of course, she can talk a little bad now and then,” Parton stated of Carpenter throughout a Tuesday interview with Knox Information. “I told her, I said, ‘Now, I don’t cuss. I don’t make fun of Jesus. I don’t talk bad about God, and I don’t say dirty words, on camera, but known to if I get mad enough.’”
Taking Parton’s phrases to coronary heart, Carpenter reworked the lyrics, eradicating the phrase “motherfucker” to make the music slightly extra, properly, Parton-approved.
“She was so sweet,” Parton stated. “And Beyoncé’s great, and Miley [Cyrus], you know I love her. So I’m just having fun with all of it.”
The nation music star lent her blessing to Beyoncé’s reimagining of “Jolene” on the “Formation” singer’s March 2024 album “Cowboy Carter.”
“Wow, I just heard Jolene. Beyoncé is giving that girl some trouble and she deserves it!” Parton wrote in a message on Instagram.

In a video clip from E! Information, posted final 12 months, Parton praised Queen Bey’s “bold” tackle the enduring music.
“When they said she was going to do ‘Jolene,’ I expected it to be my regular one but it wasn’t,” Parton stated.
She continued, “But I love what she did to it. And as a songwriter, you love the fact that people do your songs no matter how they do them.”

The Tuesday interview was Parton’s first since the dying of her husband of practically sixty years, Carl Thomas Dean, who died March 3 on the age of 82.
“Carl and I spent many wonderful years together,” Parton stated in an announcement after his dying. “Words can’t do justice to the love we shared for over 60 years. Thank you for your prayers and sympathy.”
