The Life Of Dolly Parton, The Queen Of Country Music

In Her Defense

After Miley earned herself a lot of criticism for her lewd stage presence at her concerts following her departure from her Disney days, Dolly mentioned that her own career beginnings were not so far off from that of Miley’s.

Telling The Sunday Times that she understood Miley’s struggle in 2016, Dolly said, “Yeah, well I do, ’cause back in the day, doing my own things my own way, and dressing sexy and showing my cleavage and all that, I got a lot of criticism. Lots of people thought I was making a mistake and that I was just trashy, which I was. So I did go through that, but I don’t give her advice. Everyone has to walk this journey according to their own rules.”
