Dolly Parton has a strong feeling that Beyonce may have recorded (and included) one of her most popular songs on her new album, "Renaissance: Act II."
Parton and Beyonce have had a very sweet relationship with each other, with the Country icon revealing that they have exchanged messages in the past.
Beyonce 'Jolene' Cover In 'Renaissance: Act II'
Speaking to Knox News, Country music icon Dolly Parton shared that she believes Beyonce has something up on her sleeve for her "Renaissance: Act II" - specifically "Jolene."
"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," she revealed. "I love her! She's a beautiful girl and a great singer."
Truthfully, Parton's statements were purely speculative as of this writing, but Variety noted that she "heard" and "thinks" and "hopes" that Beyonce gave her song a masterful cover. She even revealed that they got in touch through the years, which would provide her hopes some possible weight.
"We've kind of sent messages back and forth through the years," she confirmed. "And she and her mother were like fans, and I was always touched that they were fans, and I always thought she was great."
