Dolly Parton appeared on ‘Hannah Montana’ with goddaughter Miley Cyrus
In November 2020, Dolly Parton opened up to Vanity Fair about feeling proud of Miley Cyrus and recognizing her talent from a young age.
“Well, when Hannah Montana came on the air and little Miley Cyrus, my little goddaughter, was the star of it, I was so proud of her,” the country music star said. “I thought she was sensational. I thought what a great little comedian she is and what a great little actress and of course she’s a great singer. But she was so perfect in that spot.”
The “9 to 5” singer also revealed that her goddaughter convinced Disney to write her into the popular children’s show. “And she told them that, you know, she said ‘I want my Aunt Dolly on here’ – she calls me Aunt Dolly – and so she said, ‘I want her on the show,’” Parton shared. “So they wrote me in the show, and we just worked so great together. And I was on a few times.”
