In a recent interview with PEOPLE, Parton revealed her genuine reaction to hearing her classic song transformed from a vulnerable plea into a fierce warning.
"I was just honored that she did a completely different take on 'Jolene' than my version of it," Parton shared. She explained the key difference: "Hers was more like, 'Well, you're not getting him, you're not taking him, you're going to go through me to get him.' Mine was more like, 'Please don't take him!' So I loved her interpretation."
The 78-year-old singer-songwriter called Beyoncé "a magnificent artist" and described Cowboy Carter as "really, really good." Parton's involvement in the album goes beyond just her blessing - she appears twice on the record, including as a fictional radio DJ on the track "Dolly P" and in a cameo on "Tyrant."
Parton's gracious response highlights what makes great artistry: the ability to see your work evolve through another artist's vision while maintaining respect for both versions. "As a writer, you like to hear how different people interpret your songs," she noted.
