“Texas Hold ‘Em”

“Texas Hold ‘Em” gave us a taste of Cowboy Carter before this album even came out. It introduced us to Beyoncé’s new sound, set several chart records, and started a larger conversation about the place of African-American artists in country music.

“Jolene”

Beyoncé didn’t just cover Dolly Parton’s timeless classic “Jolene”—she put a modern, defiant spin on this pleading country bop, infusing it with her personal history.

“II Most Wanted” ft. Miley Cyrus

Cowboy Carter wouldn’t be the same without its amazing collaborations, and “II Most Wanted” did a great job blending Beyoncé and Cyrus’ voices and musical styles in perfect harmony.

“Protector”

In addition to being one of Cowboy Carter’s strongest tracks, “Protector” became a huge sensation online because it features spoken word by Beyoncé’s daughter Rumi Carter.

“Ya Ya”

“Ya Ya” is quickly establishing itself as one of Cowboy Carter’s breakout hits, and it will win you over with its infectious energy and catchy lyrics.

“Wrecking Ball” was initially released in 2013, as a single from Cyrus’ seminal album Bangerz, and Parton revealed she almost wept when she heard it for the first time.

“When it started into the chorus it hit me like a wrecking ball! I thought how great can a song be and how great can Miley Cyrus be? I thought, I have to have that song on my rock album and I have to have Miley sing it with me! I love it and I hope you do,” wrote Parton on social media.

This isn’t the first time Parton and Cyrus sang “Wrecking Ball” by each other side. This amazing duo joined forces during Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party back in January, and delivered a powerful rendition of this song, which concluded with a tribute to Parton’s classic “I Will Always Love You”.

The “Wrecking Ball” cover will be featured on Parton’s upcoming album Rockstar, set to hit the shelves on November 17. This album will include nine original songs and 21 covers of rock classics, marking Parton’s first foray into this genre.

Damon Whiteside, ACM CEO and ACM Awards executive producer said they couldn’t be more excited to bring this legendary pair together for the first time ever and promised one hell of a show.

“From exclusive superstar performances to unexpected collaborations to the industry’s most exciting emerging talent, fans are in for an unforgettable night that can only be seen on the ACM Awards stage!” said Whiteside in a statement.

Parton is no stranger to hosting the AMC Awards since she did it solo in 2000 and with Jimmie Allen and Gabby Barrett last year. She’s excited to join forces with Brooks this time around because they wanted to collaborate for a long time.

The duo also has several ACM Awards under their belt, with Parton winning 13 trophies in the past and Brooks winning 22, including a record-breaking six entertainer of the year awards.

The 58th Academy of Country Music Awards will take place on May 11 at the Ford Center in Frisco, Texas.

The former Disney star co-hosted the show alongside her godmother Dolly Parton, and they were a match made in heaven. The duo performed several songs by each other’s side, including Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball” and Parton’s “Jolene” and “I Will Always Love You”.

Cyrus was also joined by David Byrne, Fletcher, and Latto during the show, but the biggest shocker came when she brought out Sia and Paris Hilton on stage. The duo gave us major nostalgia overload while joining forces to perform Hilton’s 2006 hit “Stars Are Blind”.

Cyrus also used her New Year’s show as a chance to share some exciting news with her fans and tease her next single. The song titled “Flowers” will come out on January 13, and she launched a countdown on her site to tease another mystery project.

Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party was once again produced by Saturday Night Live’s Lorne Michaels, and featured appearances from several SNL stars, including comedy group Please Don’t Destroy, Chloe Fineman, and Sarah Sherman.

Parton famously rejected her Rock & Roll Hall of Fame earlier this year, stating that she doesn’t feel she’s earned that right. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame rejected her request to bow out because the voting already started, so she later decided to “gracefully accept” her nomination.

Parton makes history as one of the rare stars to make it both to the Rock & Roll and Country Music Hall of Fame. She started her acceptance speech by jokingly saying, “I’m a rock star now!” and explained why she felt hesitant to accept this honor.

“I’m sure a lot of you knew that back when they said they were gonna put me in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I didn’t really feel like I had done enough to deserve that… But I’m just honored and so proud to be here tonight,” said Parton.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame took place at LA’s Microsoft Theater on November 5. The list of inductees also included soul singer Lionel Richie, hip-hop star Eminem, new wave duo Eurythmics, synth-pop band Duran Duran, and singers Carly Simon and Pat Benatar.

The original 1980s comedy starred Jane Fonda, Dolly Parton, and Lily Tomlin as three secretaries who decide to take revenge on their boss by abducting him and running the business without him.

Dolly Parton dropped the news on Tuesday evening that the sequel was no longer moving forward. She told ET, “Well, actually I think we dropped that whole idea. I don’t think we’re going to do the sequel. We never could get the script where it was enough different than the first one, and that one turned out so good.”

Parton continued, the trio is still “thinking we might do a completely different thing together.”

News of the remake was revealed by Parton in 2018 ABC’s Nightlight. “All these years, we’ve talked about doing a sequel…it never made any real sense until just recently.”

If you want to see more of the trio together you can watch Fonda and Tomlin in Netflix’s Grace and Frankie, which has been airing since 2015.

The MusiCares Person of the Year is an annual award given by MusiCares (the charity arm of The Recording Academy) who also distribute Grammy awards. The honor commends musicians for their dedication to philanthropy as well as their musical success.

Dolly Parton is the first country musician to win the award. The ceremony will take place on February 18th, 2019 in Los Angeles. The event is held during Grammy Week and will feature an array of talented artists paying their tribute to Parton. Last year, Miley Cyrus and Harry Styles were among the artists who performed as a tribute to Fleetwood Mac.

No artists for the coming event have been confirmed but we can safely assume that Miley Cyrus will return given that she is Parton’s goddaughter.

All proceeds from the event will support the MusiCares charity which aims to provide people in the music industry with a “place to turn in times of financial, medical, and personal need.”
