Dolly Parton Praises Beyonce’s Cover Of ‘Jolene’

Buy Me A Coffee

Dolly Parton couldn’t contain her excitement when Beyoncé gave her classic hit “Jolene” a modern makeover and released a country album that had everyone two-stepping in surprise.

Chatting with E! News, the queen of 9 to 5 revealed her reaction when she found out Queen Bey took on her iconic tune. Dolly was expecting a regular cover, but Beyoncé had other plans. “I think it was very bold of her,” Dolly quipped, likely with a twinkle in her eye. “When they said she was gonna do ‘Jolene,’ I expected it to be my regular one, but it wasn’t.”

Parton couldn’t help but gush, “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.” She then jokingly added, “She wasn’t gonna go beg some other woman like I did. Nope, Beyoncé’s all like, ‘Shit, get out here, bitch. You ain’t stealin’ mine.’”

But of course, you know, it’s Beyoncé. Yeah, her life is different than mine.”
