From funding the Moderna vaccine, producing Spotify's first-ever book-cast, and hosting the ACMs, Country music queen Dolly Parton has been on a roll recently with all her back-to-back engagements.

Last Monday, the "Jolene" hitmaker hosted the Academy of Country Music Awards for the first time since 2000.

But before gracing the Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium, Parton shared to E! Daily Pop that she is open to working with this singer in the future.

Dolly Parton Wants Cardi B for A Collab

As random as it may sound, the Country Music Hall of Famer says she is "willing" to collaborate with female rapper Cardi B in the future.

Dolly revealed her admiration to the "WAP" singer, as she described Cardi with her candidness.

"She's a character. I know she's an original," Dolly said.

Although the collaboration might feel like it came from Jimmy Fallon's Random Wheel Generator, the country music icon seemed to be very excited about working with the rapper in the future.

But aside from Cardi B, Dolly wants to include another music legend on a future project that somehow popped on her head.

Dolly, Cardi, and Cher?

In the same interview, Dolly reminisced about her friendship with the Goddess of Pop Cher.

In response, she opened up on how she would return on perhaps the big screen or television with her great friend.

Dolly appeared numerous times on Cher's "If I Could Turn Back Time" variety TV show in the 70s.

The two remained close friends as the years went by, greeting one another publicly on their birthdays.

While recalling her friendship with the Pop Icon, Dolly confessed that she wanted to embark on a project with Cher sometime in the future.

"I would love to do something with her sometime, a TV show or a movie," she explained.

Dolly even wanted to include Cardi B on her next project with Cher: "We'll have Cardi B on that same show, let Cher host it, and me and Cardi B will be the entertainment."

Well, Dolly's admiration of Cardi B roots back into an NME interview in 2019 when she finds common ground between her and the rapper.

Dolly revealed that she sees pieces of her in Cardi B, noting that she also has the rapper's boldness despite receiving criticism for their looks and their unapologetically colorful public personas.
