Parton, 75, said on Twitter, “When I found out that Lil Nas X had covered my song “Jolene,” I was ecstatic. I had to track it down and listen to it right away… It’s also very, very good. Of course, I adore him nonetheless. I was taken aback, and I feel honored and flattered. I’m hoping for the best for both of us. Thank you so much, @lilnasx.”He said.
