Remembering Dolly Parton, the Queen of Country Music, through one of her most unforgettable performances with goddaughter Miley Cyrus. 🤍 During Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party, Miley and Dolly shared the stage for several songs throughout the night, including “Jolene,” “I Love Rock ’n’ Roll” and “Walkin’ After Midnight.” One of the most emotional moments came when they performed Miley’s “Wrecking Ball” before transitioning into Dolly’s “I Will Always Love You.” Written and originally recorded by Dolly in the 1970s, “I Will Always Love You” became one of the defining songs of her career and later reached another generation through Whitney Houston’s iconic recording. Hearing Miley sing the song alongside the woman who wrote it made the performance feel especially powerful, bringing together two generations of music history and the close personal bond they shared. Following Dolly Parton’s passing at age 80, moments like this carry an entirely new weight. Rest in peace, Dolly. Your songs, songwriting and influence will live forever. 🤍 What’s your favorite Miley Cyrus and Dolly Parton performance?
