Miley Cyrus and Dolly Parton, Miley’s godmother, have performed the classic “Jolene” together several times, including a memorable New Year’s Eve performance on Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party in Miami in 2022.

During this show, the duo surprised audiences by diving into “Jolene” after Miley hinted that they couldn’t leave the stage without performing the song. The performance, marked by their playful chemistry, featured Dolly taking the melody and Miley harmonizing beautifully.

Their onstage dynamic, where they jokingly played rivals for “Jolene’s” attention, delighted the crowd and added energy to the emotional lyrics. The iconic duet on New Year’s Eve underscored the strong bond and musical harmony the two share, capturing both nostalgia and modern flair​.

Their duet has become a fan favorite, and it isn’t the first time they’ve collaborated on the hit. Miley had previously covered “Jolene” in her “Backyard Sessions,” which became a viral sensation and introduced the song to a younger audience, solidifying its legacy.

For Miley, singing “Jolene” with Dolly is not only a tribute to her godmother but also a way to connect with her country roots while sharing her love for Dolly’s work with new generations.
