Miley Cyrus has long respected and idolized her godmother, Dolly Parton, for many reasons, but one important aspect to their relationship is the 78-year-old country superstar’s ability to have the “tough conversations.”
In the newly released episode of My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman, Cyrus opened up about Parton’s influence on her life.
“She isn’t afraid to have the tough conversations,” the “Flowers” singer said of Parton.

When host Letterman asked for an example, Cyrus spoke about her hesitancy to perform at the 2024 GRAMMY Awards. The evening ended up being victorious for the former child star, but she hadn’t been sure she was going to do it at first.
“I told her, ‘I’m wondering if I’m going to do the GRAMMYs or not,'” Cyrus shared. “And she said, ‘Well, of course you’re gonna do the GRAMMYs. And you’re not just gonna show up but you’re gonna show off. And you’re gonna be everything that you are sitting right here in front of me.’ And she said, ‘And don’t forget about the beauty — the hair, the makeup, the whole show. You know, it’s armor for us.'”
Cyrus clarified Parton’s comment saying she wasn’t trying to have her follow in her steps.

As for others in the industry, Cyrus admitted that she doesn’t maintain many friendships within show business.
Cyrus is featured on Beyoncé’s new Cowboy Carter album on the song, “II Most Wanted.” Last week, Parton spoke with ET’s Rachel Smith about the idea of her, Cyrus and Bey all performing her song, “Jolene,” on stage.
“Well, that would be amazing, wouldn’t it? Well, it could happen. Never say never,” Parton teased to ET.
