Dolly Parton compares Beyoncé's Becky to Jolene on Cowboy Carter

Dolly Parton compares Beyoncé’s infamous Becky to Jolene, the title character of her 1973 classic, on 'Cowboy Carter.'

"Becky with the good hair" found her way onto the track "Sorry," from the singer's 2016 cheating-husband opus, Lemonade.
