Miley Cyrus Spills the Tea: Dolly Parton Threw a Little Shade at One of Her Songs

Miley Cyrus, aka pop’s favorite chaos coordinator, has a godmother who’s not just a living legend but also a world-class straight shooter: Dolly Parton. And when Dolly has notes, you listen.

In a recent chat, Miley, 32, spilled that her iconic fairy godmother had some… thoughts about one of her songs. Yep, even Dolly—queen of rhinestones and infinite wisdom—had a moment of “hmm, sweetie, are we sure about this one?”

The Song that Made Dolly Side-Eye
The track in question? Miley’s 2023 tearjerker, “Used to Be Young.” It’s all about Miley’s wild-child Disney days and growing up under a spotlight brighter than Dolly’s sequined wardrobe. But Dolly wasn’t quite convinced her goddaughter was ready to wax poetic about the good ol’ days.

Apparently, Dolly threw out this zinger: “I don’t know if I like that new ‘Used to Be Young’ song because it’s not fair that you’re singing about not being young when you’re young and beautiful. And here I am—I’m like 80—and I’m like, THAT should have been MY song!”

Let’s just take a moment to marvel at Dolly basically calling dibs on existential crises.

Miley: “Maybe I Overshared?”
Miley, ever the reflective artiste, admitted she had her own doubts. “I actually listened to that song yesterday,” she said, probably while lounging in a hammock made of platinum records. “And I was like, ‘Did I really need to put this out?’”

She added, “It’s one of those things that, now that I’m more private, I might’ve kept to myself. But, hey, I’m glad I shared it. Even if it’s so personal that most people are like, ‘Okay, girl, good for you, but… what do we do with this?’”

Translation: It’s like when you post a dramatic diary entry on Instagram and immediately regret it—except Miley’s diary is a platinum-selling hit.

Plot Twist: Miley and Dolly Are Blood Relatives?
Oh, and in case you missed it, 2023 also brought us the bombshell that Miley and Dolly are actually related by blood. Which totally makes sense because being fabulous clearly runs in the family genes.

Dolly might not be sold on Miley’s ode to youth, but we’re sold on this hilarious godmother-goddaughter dynamic. And if there’s a Grammy for “Best Song That Dolly Wishes She Wrote,” we know who’s taking it home.
