Miley Cyrus is Dolly Parton’s Goddaughter, and that is not all. Access Hollywood found out via Ancestry.com that they are seventh cousins once removed.
Dolly’s sixth great-grandfather is Miley’s seventh. John Brickey lived in Tenessee in the early 1800s, about twenty miles from where Dollywood is today.
How does the Country legend feel about that? “That’s amazing,” she said with excitment. “It doesn’t surprise me because she does feel like family. I’ve always said she feels like a niece or a child or whatever. So that is a cool little thing there that you just told me.”
Do you see the resemblance? Now that I think about it, their eyes kind of look alike.
In recent years, Dolly Parton has sold dog clothes, perfume, books, cake mixes, and so much more. Today, she announced that she has put her name on a new product.
“I’m very excited to officially launch @dollywines today,” she wrote. “Crafted with love, these wines are the perfect addition to spending time with family and friends. So let’s raise a glass together!”
If that is not enough, she is going to the Great White Way in 2026. She wrote, “I’ve been writing my life story as a Broadway musical for several years, and I’m proud to announce we are finally developing ‘Hello, I’m Dolly—An Original Musical’ for the Broadway stage.”
What is next for her? Who knows? But I know we will find out soon enough. So, as we wait, let’s drink a glass of Dolly’s Wines!
I love Dolly Parton, but she is everywhere these days! She has cake mixes, dog clothes, perfume, books, music, and so much more. Where will we see her face next? At Krispy Kreme, of course.
The doughnut giant is singing Dolly Parton’s praises with four doughnuts dedicated to her Southern sweet treats for a limited time!
“Having some of my very favorite southern flavors in one, unique doughnut collection from Krispy Kreme is so special to me,” Parton said. “These doughnuts remind me of home. So, I’m excited for folks to share them with their own family and friends. They’re pretty sweet, if I do say so myself!”
How sweet are they? Read the description and tell me you don’t have a sugar high just from reading that.
Dolly Dazzler – an Original Glazed® Doughnut dipped in strawberry icing, with gold, pink and white glitter sprinkles and a signature chocolate Dolly butterfly piece.
Peachy Keen Cobbler – an unglazed doughnut filled with real peach filling, dipped in brown sugar icing and crunchy cobbler topping.
Banana Puddin’ – an unglazed doughnut filled with banana pudding made with wafers and banana pudding KREME, dipped in yellow icing, with white icing swirls and wafer cookie pieces.
Chocolate Crème Pie – an Original Glazed® doughnut topped with a swirl of chocolate brownie cream and vanilla whipped topping, sprinkled with chocolate cookie crumble.
To celebrate the Dolly Doughs, Krispy Kreme wants us to dress up as the Country legend on Saturday to get a free glazed donut. Don’t have anything Dolly to wear? Then you can sing one of her songs. I will be singing PMS Blues because I am PMSing and need something sweet and full of fat!
Beyoncé released her first Country album today, and there is a cover of Dolly Parton’s Jolene on Cowboy Carter.
We don’t know why Beyoncé chose that song in particular. But we do know that Parton has been wishing for that to happen for at least two years. And wishes do come true.
In 2022, Miss Dolly told Trevor Noah on The Daily Show, “I think she’s fantastic, beautiful, and I love her music. I would just love to hear Jolene done in just a big way, kind of like how Whitney [Houston] did to my I Will Always Love You to someone who can take my little songs and make them like powerhouses. So that would be a marvelous day in my life. If she ever does Jolene.”
Well, today is a marvelous day for Dolly. To hear Queen Bey’s take on the Queen of Country’s tune, then click here!

However, the big draw for Dolly Parton’s Pet Gala is the Puppy Love we are going to have for the dogs modeling clothes from Doggy Parton!
“I have hosted or co-hosted many shows throughout my career, but I have never been more excited about co-hosting a show than I am about being part of this pet gala! I love animals. I’ve got all kinds, and of course, I’ve always had little dogs around, and big ones! We’re going to have some of all kinds and colors on the show, and there is nothing more fun to me than when little animals do what they do best, and I’m looking forward to it! There is so much fun stuff, and I know all the animal lovers out there are going to love this show,” said Dolly Parton.
Since I love Dolly and doggies, I know I am going to love this show!
