Miley Cyrus recalled the moment when her godmother Dolly Parton was candid with her before her performance at the Grammys in 2024.
«[Dolly] is not afraid to have serious conversations», - said Miley, 31, during a recent appearance on «My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman». «One of the serious conversations I had with her was when I said, 'I'm not sure if I should perform at the Grammys or not,' and she said, 'Of course, you should perform at the Grammys, and not just show up, but you will shine. And you will be all that you are, sitting right in front of me'».
«And she said, 'And don’t forget about beauty. Hair, makeup, the whole show. That’s our armor'», - Miley added.
The guidance of the 78-year-old country singer truly set the tone, as 2024 became a milestone year for the Disney alum. Miley won her first Grammys in the categories of Best Pop Solo Performance and Record of the Year. In addition to this major victory, she also performed her hit «Flowers», - exclaiming in delight «I just won my first Grammy!» during the performance.
That godmotherly instinct never fails, and the «Climb» singer always knew it. «[Dolly] always told me, 'You be you, and I’ll be me, and together we’ll be us.' So she didn’t tell me to be Dolly, she didn’t tell me to be glamorous and hide behind the sparkle and the hair. She told me to be myself», - she recalled on the talk show.
Miley has been very open about her relationship with her godmother, including having her as a co-host on the NBC New Year’s Eve show and as a guest during the Hannah Montana days.
During her time on the Disney Channel, she admitted that it was difficult for her to distinguish herself from Hannah. «I mean, Hannah Montana is known for wearing a blonde wig and having this other persona that she can turn off and be a regular girl during the day and have this superstar life at night», - she told David. «I realized that’s what Dolly has been doing practically her whole life… Now she’s always in a wig and always in Dolly… It’s not about the outward appearance, creating a character».
Their bond has been particularly special since Miley was born. Dolly reminisced about her relationship with her goddaughter during an interview on «Good Morning America» in 2009. «I've known her since she was a baby… Her father — my friend — when she was born, he said, 'You just have to be her godmother,' and I said, 'I agree'… We never had a big ceremony, but I’m proud of her, I love her, and she’s like one of my own», - the artist shared
