Dolly Parton recently heard Lil Nas X's take on her classic, “Jolene,” and she gives it a thumbs up! She turned to social media on Wednesday (September 29th) to post a picture of herself with Lil Nas X taken backstage at an award show along with the caption, “I was so excited when someone told me that Lil Nas X had done my song ‘Jolene’. I had to find it and listen to it immediately…and it’s really, really good. Of course, I love him anyway. I was surprised and I’m honored and flattered. I hope he does good for both of us. Thank you @lilnasx.”
He responded by retweeting her post and commenting, “HOLY SH**”
