Dolly Parton hints Cowboy Carter tour appearance
Dolly Parton says she could show up to Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour.
The 79-year-old country music legend was "very honoured" when the Single Ladies hitmaker, 43, remade her 1973 classic - but with a "twist" where she warns Jolene to stay clear of her man.
Asked if she can be expected at one of the shows on the mammoth stadium tour, Dolly told the HuffPost: "You never know ― anything is possible! Because she really is doing great with that (tour)."
On being "very amused" by Beyoncé's take on Jolene, she added: "I was very honoured that she wanted to do her version of Jolene.
"That's all a great compliment to me, when somebody wants to do my songs in any version.
"I was very amused by her take on that, and I got a big kick out of that.
"She's not gonna sit back and say, 'Oh please don't take my man.' She's gonna kick some ass!"
Beyoncé kicked off her Cowboy Carter Tour by raking in a record-setting $55.7 million gross.
The Crazy In Love hitmaker finished a run of five gigs at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California on May 9, and pulled in well over $50 million with 217,000 tickets sold.
As reported by Rolling Stone magazine, the Los Angeles run was the "biggest reported single-venue engagement" of the year so far.
It was also the fifth-highest grossing tour stop in Boxscore history, beaten only by U2 at the Sphere in Las Vegas across 2023 and 2024, Harry Styles at New York's Madison Square Garden in 2022, and Take That's Wembley Stadium run in 2011.
What's more, it also marked the highest-grossing single-venue engagement in history by a female artist.
Beyoncé started her tour on April 28 and returned to the venue on May 1, 4, 7 and 9, pulling in an average of $11.1 million per night with over 43,000 fans in attendance for each show.
With three performances as SoFi in 2023, her eight gigs in total was more than any other artist in the venue's five-year history.
On the opening night of the SoFi run, the Grammy Award-winner was joined onstage by her daughters Blue Ivy Carter and Rumi Carter.
Blue Ivy, 13, danced with her famous mother during her performance of America Has A Problem.
Later on, it was time for Beyoncé and Jay-Z's seven-year-old, Rumi Carter, to make her onstage debut.
As Beyoncé belted out the moving ballad Protector, Rumi and her big sister stood with her under the spotlight.
Following the performance, pictures of Beyoncé and her three children - also including Rumi's twin brother Sir - appeared on a big screen behind her.

Yungblud tips the hat to Lady Gaga and Florence Pugh
Yungblud has hailed Lady Gaga a "beautiful mind with a limitless imagination". The 27-year-old rocker is one of the 'Born This Way' hitmaker's Little Monsters and would love to be in the room every time she makes a creative decision. He told Rolling Stone: 'I would love to be a fly on the wall every time Gaga walks up to her team and goes, 'Right, this is what we're doing next.' 'She's a beautiful mind and a limitless imagination, you can tell. She's just herself, isn't she?' The 'Fleabag' star went on to compare Gaga, 39, to 'Thunderbolts' actress Florence Pugh, 29, who features in his new music video for his track 'Zombie'. He told the publication: 'Florence Pugh, in my opinion, is one of the most exciting British artists in a long time. 'I think she has this individuality that is not adherent to anyone else. She is completely legit and individual within her own style in her own time.' In the promo, Florence plays an exhausted health worker on the brink. He added: 'The song is so deep, so emotional, but so fundamentally British. 'I was like mind blown watching her on set. And she's just a legend. You can tell, man. She's just sat in a pub on a Sunday with a pint of Guinness, just talking s***.' It's the third track to be taken from the pop rocker's upcoming album, 'Idols', following 'Hello Heaven, Hello' and 'Lovesick Lullaby'. Yungblud said in a statement about 'Zombie': 'The song was written initially about my grandmother going through serious injury and trauma, leading her to become a different person to who she was before. It's about the feeling of deterioration and ugliness; shutting out the world and the people we love out of the fear of becoming a burden or an embarrassment. 'We all want someone or something to comfort us no matter how we are right now or who we become in the future. But it's f****** scary.'

Dolly Parton's faith helps her cope with Carl Dean's passing
Dolly Parton expects to be reunited with Carl Dean in the afterlife. The 79-year-old music icon lost her husband earlier this year, aged 82, but Dolly's faith has helped her to cope with the heartbreak. She told The Independent: "I am a person of faith, and I truly believe that I'm going to see him again someday. "And I see him every day in my memories and in my heart, and in all the things that we used to do and all the things that we've built together. You just kind of have to learn to kind of make new plans – but that's the hardest part." Dolly has felt lonely since losing her husband. However, she's also relieved that he's "not suffering anymore" after being ill "for quite a while". She shared: "I really feel his presence. I just try to go on, because I know I have to. And he was ill for quite a while, and part of me was at peace that he was at peace and not suffering anymore. But that still doesn't make up for the loss and the loneliness of it." Carl was always "very proud" of the chart-topping country music star. And Dolly is now determined to throw her "energy" into new projects. The 'Jolene' hitmaker said: "When I did lose him, I just thought, well, I'm going to take all of that energy, and I'm just going to put that back into other things, and I'll keep him ever-present in everything that I do." Dolly described herself as a "workhorse that looks like a show horse". The singer - who has an autobiographical musical in the works - said: "My husband always said, 'If anybody was ever born to be a star, it's you.' Because he sees me loving to do all the things and playing and stuff – it's play time for me. But I take it very serious." Carl made a concerted effort to keep a low profile during his life, and Dolly previously admitted that they were "completely opposite" characters. She told People in 2015: "They say that opposites attract, and it's true. We're completely opposite, but that's what makes it fun."

Miley Cyrus is already promising an 'extremely experimental' follow-up to Something Beautiful
Miley Cyrus has promised an "extremely experimental" follow-up to 'Something Beautiful'. The 32-year-old singer will release her ninth studio album on Friday (30.05.25), but she's already looking ahead to the next one as she starts work on her milestone 10th LP. As reported by Rolling Stone magazine, she gave fans at an event at Hollywood's Chateau Marmont hotel a hint of what's to come. She told the small crowd: "My next album is about to be extremely experimental, so have fun with that. "'Something Beautiful' is just the appetizer." At the fan event, Miley performed some new tracks like 'Easy Lover', 'End of the World' and 'More To Lose', along with her 2023 hit 'Flowers'. She even treated fans to a bit of 'The Climb' from 2009's 'Hannah Montana: The Movie'. 'Something Beautiful' - which is a visual album - is set for release on May 30, while the film will receive its world premiere at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival in June. So far, fans have heard a handful of the 13 new songs from the collection, all of which will be accompanied by new visuals that have been described as a "one of a kind pop opera". After releasing the title track 'Something Beautiful', Miley teased that the album marked "another bold artistic evolution" in her career. A statement on her Instagram account read: "Miley's second song and video release 'Something Beautiful', the title track off of the forthcoming album explores her deep connection to fashion showcasing an original custom design by Casey Cadwallader for the House of Mugler in the visual. "This era marks another bold artistic evolution for Miley, blending music and film into an immersive experience." 'Something Beautiful' - which Miley is co-executive producing with Shawn Everett - is the follow-up to 2023's 'Endless Summer Vacation'. The 'Flowers' hitmaker previously teased that the upcoming album was inspired by Pink Floyd's 'The Wall', and described it as a "healing" record. She explained to Harper's Bazaar: "My idea was making 'The Wall', but with a better wardrobe and more glamorous and filled with pop culture. "It's a concept album that's an attempt to medicate somewhat of a sick culture through music. "I would like to be a human psychedelic for people. I don't want anyone trying to be like me or imitate me or even be inspired by me. I want to impact frequencies in your body that make you vibrate at a different level."
