The kind of mentor who doesn’t hold back. Dolly Parton is of course Miley Cyrus’ godmother, and she hit the jackpot in that sense… obviously, any musician would be lucky to have Dolly in their corner giving advice and helping them make decisions about industry-related things, in addition to general life advice. Miley has talked about their relationship before, and it sounds like they’re still close and that Mrs. Dolly still is a big part of her life and wants to know about everything she had going on. Miley is gearing up to release her ninth studio Something Beautiful album on May 30th, and she sat down with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe this week to talk about the new album and her catalog in general. And apparently, when she put out her eighth studio album Endless Summer Vacation in 2023, Dolly was not a fan of how Miley was marketing the record, because it included a lot of bikini photos and very little other marketing. Dolly told Miley that people were asking her about what Miley was up to, and she had no clue what to say. Miley and Dolly were in the car together, and since Miley’s house is 45 minutes from where Dolly lives, they were stuck together for this conversation: “She didn’t love my ‘Vacation’ era either. She’s like, ‘Everyone’s asking me where you are and I’m wondering the same thing.’ She’s like, ‘Everyday, it’s just a new picture of you in a bikini, but like, what are you gonna do for the thing?’ I was like, ‘Well, I’m working on something else. We’ve already worked on the thing.’ She’s like, ‘That’s not what you do with a project.’ She picked me up from my house so I had 45 minutes in a trapped car on the way to her house. So there was no escaping the talking to that I was getting.” Zane asked: “Did she come in hot?” Miley responded: “HOT.” I love hearing about this side of Dolly, and we all know Miley had some wild years back in the day, but she’s definitely evolved as an artist over the years, so I’m sure this isn’t the only tough conversation they’ve had. Honestly, Miley’s really lucky to have someone like Dolly to do that, because the music business is ruthless and most artists would do anything to have such a successful, seasoned entertainer in the icon herself, Dolly Parton, in their corner. It’s also kinda refreshing to hear that Dolly is like every other southern godmother out there.
