The Truth About Miley Cyrus And Dolly Parton's Relationship

Dolly Parton and Miley Cyrus are queens of the music industry. But Parton is much more than a beloved celebrity to Cyrus, she's essentially a member of Cyrus' family as Miley’s godmother. Here's an inside look at Parton and Cyrus' relationship and just what Parton thinks about Cyrus' evolution.

Before Dolly Parton became Miley Cyrus' godmother, she acted as a mentor to the pop star's famous father, Billy Ray Cyrus. In a 2018 interview with Dan Rather, Billy Ray recalled how Parton helped his country music career, telling Rather:

"When ['Achy Breaky Heart'] came out, Dolly put me on her tour as an opening act."

However, as Billy Ray Cyrus revealed, his early professional relationship with Parton was plagued with rumors that the two were romantically involved. He went on to say:

"Some of the headlines in the tabloids had Dolly and myself, pictures of us and saying something was going on."

The "Old Town Road" singer revealed he was quote "so upset" about the tabloid headlines and rumors. As Billy Ray tells it, he went to Parton to apologize for the vicious rumors concerning them both; however, Parton had quite a different outlook on the tabloid drama. He stated:

"She looked at me, and she said, 'Honey, that s--- sells records.’ From that moment on, we became very good friends."
