Dolly Parton expected a 'regular' version of her song from Beyoncé and said, 'I think it was very bold of her.'

Another portion of the song that received some refurbishment to the lyrics was: “Your beauty is beyond compare/With flaming locks of auburn hair/With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green/Your smile is like a breath of spring. Your voice is soft like summer rain/And I cannot compete with you, Jolene,” as sung by Dolly in the original.

Not only is she happy with Beyoncé’s latest tunes, but she’s more than ready to sing alongside the Houston-born artist at the 2025 Grammys if the opportunity arises. In March, Dolly praised the R&B sensation’s version of the song with an Instagram post that said, “Wow, I just heard Jolene. Beyoncé is giving that girl some trouble and she deserves it! love, Dolly P.”Not everyone in the comments section was happy, with one fan saying, “She does BUT your original version has class, intelligence and subtlety. The beauty lies in the relationship between the ‘I’ and Jolene. In B’s version, that relationship is gone. It’s aggression.

“What a world, when the original artist can quite LITERALLY give full approval, and fans decide to come along and spew negativity. Just silly…🤦🏽‍♂️ We LOVE Queen Dolly P and Queen Honey B!” another wrote.Beyoncé opened up in a social media post about how she didn’t feel welcomed in the country music scene in the past and how that experience further pushed her to conceptualize the new album.
