Dolly Parton Slayed Her Own Grammys Tribute With Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, And More

How several major musicians can fit on one stage to honor Dolly Parton at Grammys? The response – right after watching the Dolly Parton tribute at the 61st Grammys Awards – is at least eight, with Miley Cyrus, Kacey Musgraves, Katy Perry, Maren Morris, Little Big Town and Linda Perry joining Dolly on stage.


Dolly's tribute comes as piece of her being honored MusiCares Person of the Year in the days leading up to the Grammys, a milestone moment for the nation singer who's racked up a staggering 47 nominations and nine wins, including this year's latest honor. With a record that strong, it only makes sense that Dolly would perform a medley of her biggest hits with her best companions in the industry.


The tribute began with Kacey and Katy, the opening in big diva hair and the second in small, trading verses of Dolly's award-winning 1977 single "Here You Come Again" before Dolly herself joined the singers. Looking angelic in her all-white gown and rocking a white microphone, also, Dolly thanked Kacey and Katy for their part in her tribute, as if they weren't thrilled enough to be there already!


"Where's my Miley?" Dolly asked to start the next portion, as goddaughter Miley came center stage for a rendition of Dolly's timeless "Jolene" that was impossible not to sing along to. Combining their vocals, Miley kept the melody while Dolly dazzled on her harmonies – yet the ideal harmonizing came right after.


Dolly and Molly remained on stage as Maren joined them for a three-part vocal efficiency of right after The Gold Rush." And brilliant because the three singers sounded right off the bat, it wasn't up until they went a cappella that you can really appreciate their voices – also it became clear that this was a moment to remember.


Little Big Town, who explained in countless red carpet interviews that they've been anticipating a Dolly teamwork for years and years, joined the superstar to perform her new song "Red Shoes" from the Dumplin' Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, executive produced by Dolly herself.


To close the tribute, Dolly kicked off "9 To 5," her 1980 single from the movie of the same name, as every one of the previous singers came back to the stage. And after Dolly gave her signature catchphrase – "Everybody!" – Each person sang with each other to close off a magical night for the nation music singer. Songwriter Linda Perry accompanied on acoustic guitar, also, immediately following the two collaborated on the Dumplin soundtrack.


With so several of today's biggest artists on the stage with each other with Dolly, one can't help yet wonder: which of those talented singers will get their own tribute in 20 years?! Look out for the response at the 81st Grammy Awards.
