Dolly Parton Says She’s ‘Proud’ of Taylor Swift, Thinks CMAs Didn’t Snub Beyoncé ‘on Purpose’
Dolly Parton praises Taylor Swift and Beyonce, and opens up about the CMAs snubbing 'Cowboy Carter' in a new interview. See what she had to say.
In a new interview with Variety published Tuesday (Sept. 17), the 78-year-old country legend gushed about both superstars as well as weighed in on the CMA Awards snubbing Bey’s Cowboy Carter this season. As for the “Texas Hold ‘Em” musician, Parton thinks Cowboy Carter — which featured a voice recording from the “9 to 5” artist as well as Bey’s cover of “Jolene” — is a “great album” that she was “fortunate” to be a part of. Even so, Parton thinks that the CMAs — which angered fans Sept. 9 by failing to acknowledge Cowboy Carter in any of its 2024 categories — didn’t necessarily shut out the Destiny’s Child alum “on purpose.” “There’s so many wonderful country artists that, I guess probably the country music field, they probably thought, ‘Well, we can’t really leave out some of the ones that spend their whole life doing that,'” Parton told the outlet.
