00:00 Dolly Parton just gushed over Beyoncé and her Jolene cover, and added that she's not
00:05 opposed to a joint performance at the Grammys.
00:08 Back in March of this year, Dolly Parton revealed that Beyoncé was recording her own version
00:12 of Jolene.
00:14 In an interview with Knox News on March 8th, when asked if she was collaborating with Beyoncé
00:18 on her upcoming country album, Parton shared, "Well, I think she has.
00:22 I think she's recorded Jolene, and I think it's probably gonna be on her country album,
00:26 which I'm very excited about.
00:28 I love her.
00:29 She's a beautiful girl and a great singer."
00:31 When Cowboy Carter dropped on March 29th, fans were pleasantly surprised to hear that
00:35 Beyoncé didn't just record a cover, she made Jolene her own.
00:39 Beyoncé most notably changed the lyrics of the chorus, replacing Parton's "I'm beggin'
00:43 of you, please don't take my man" with "I'm warning you, don't come for my man."
00:48 And Parton just gushed over how much she liked Beyoncé's version, telling E! News, "It
00:52 was very bold of her.
00:54 When they said she was gonna do Jolene, I expected it to be my regular one, but it wasn't.
00:58 I loved what she did to it.
01:00 She wasn't gonna go beg some other woman like I did."
01:02 Parton also added that if the stars align, she thinks it would be "wonderful" to perform
01:07 Jolene alongside Beyoncé at the Grammys.
