Country icon Dolly Parton may have just spilled the beans on a collaboration with Beyoncé that's sure to set the music world on fire. Parton, during a conversation with Knox News on March 8, hinted that the "Lemonade" superstar covered her classic hit "Jolene" for her highly anticipated "Act II" album. "Well, I think she has! I think she's recorded ‘Jolene’ and I think it's probably gonna be on her country album, which I'm very excited about that," Parton revealed in the interview.
After giving the world a taste of her twang with a couple of country singles in February, Beyoncé stirred the pot showing that she can not only slay the pop and R&B charts, but also make a splash in the country scene as the first Black woman to top Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart. Fans are eagerly waiting for more, and Parton’s tease only adds to the anticipation – especially when Parton mentioned her thoughts on Beyoncé in the same breath, talking about her great singing and beauty, according to a Variety report.
Parton's admiration for Beyoncé isn't something new, as she previously expressed her support for Beyoncé's country endeavors on social media. "I'm a big fan of Beyoncé and very excited that she's done a country album," she posted, as mentioned in a Rolling Stone article. "So congratulations on your Billboard Hot Country number one single. Can’t wait to hear the full album," the country legend added.
Nevertheless, it's important to note that Beyoncé has a reputation for keeping the cards close to her chest until the albums drop – her latest singles were a surprise during the Super Bowl. While fans are buzzing with excitement and hope is fluttering with anticipation, it remains official confirmation from Beyoncé's camp to be seen whether "Jolene" will indeed feature in "Act II." Parton herself admitted that she "heard," "thinks," and "hopes" her song will be included.
