Even in her collabs with world-famous pop stars, Dolly Parton keeps it clean and holy. The legendary country singer revealed some ground rules she laid down for Sabrina Carpenter while working with her. Parton and Carpenter teamed up to put a spin on the smash hit Please Please Please. The duo shot a music video for the collab, which amassed 11 million views after a month on YouTube.
Carpenter also openly confessed that she listens to Parton’s Heartbreaker every morning. Before stepping into the recording booth with Carpenter, she laid out a clear condition. While Carpenter’s language could be quite expressive, Parton maintained a strict code of conduct. She communicated her boundaries, stating:
“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.”
However, she did acknowledge that, on occasion, she might slip if she got sufficiently upset. Per Knoxnews, the generational singer was also excited to work with the likes of Beyoncé and Miley Cyrus. She described working with the Flawless singer as one of her greatest joys. Parton described all three ladies as pleasant, noting she is “having fun with all of it.”
The ‘Jolene’ Singer Applauded for Her Style of Language Control
As seen on Reddit, Parton even altered a part of Carpenter’s lyrics to make it sound more palatable. Her resolve was heavily praised by Reddit users who lent their voices in the comments. One user wrote, “Dolly is a national treasure (really, a treasure to humanity), so if I had the absolute privilege of working with her, l’d do whatever she wanted.”
One commenter said they would pay taxes to the country musician. Another Reddit user found their colleague’s comment “random” and agreed with that sentiment. The conversation showed lighthearted admiration for Ms. Parton, with one user calling her a true “national treasure.” Other commenters see the decision as a small price to pay for Parton.
Another commenter reiterated the, “DOLLY IS NATIONAL TREASURE!” line. One more user also expressed a desire for more people to embody qualities similar to Parton’s. They do not oppose sexuality but compare openly displaying it to parading a private act like using the bathroom. The commenter also sees no shame in either but questions the need to publicly share personal aspects of life.
Dolly Parton Shared a Statement Addressing Her Husband, Carl Dean’s Passing
The sensational vocalist recently suffered a huge loss as her husband of nearly six decades passed away. We previously shared that Parton thanked her fans for their support following Dean’s shocking passing. She described her Instagram post as a love note to those who sent messages, cards, and flowers.
Parton had earlier shared a heartfelt post on Instagram to announce the passing of her husband. She shared that he died at the age of 82 on March 3rd in Nashville. The emotional announcement resonated with over 200,000 fans, garnering more than 4,000 comments filled with support. Parton and Dean’s marriage lasted for over 50 years, during which Dean remained out of the public eye.
Dean’s easygoing nature also made it difficult for others to accept Parton’s assertion that they were married. Despite this skepticism, he plays a significant role in her creative journey. Notably, his encounter with a flirtatious bank teller inspired her timeless song Jolene. Additionally, his influence is evident in her 2023 album, Rockstar.
Who will Dolly Parton lay the rules down for next?
