In a recent interview with Knox News, the legendary Dolly Parton hinted at a seismic shift in the music landscape: Beyoncé, the reigning queen of pop, maybe delving into covering country classics, with a rendition of Parton's timeless hit, "Jolene" on her new LP Act II. The mere thought of Beyoncé lending her incomparable voice to such a beloved song is enough to send shivers down the spine of both fandoms. 

"I think she’s recorded ‘Jolene’ and I think it’s probably gonna be on her country album, which I’m very excited about that," revealed Parton during the interview. "I love her! She’s a beautiful girl and a great singer," added Parton, expressing her admiration for Beyoncé.

Fans have already taken to X, looking through the upcoming album credits for even more details, and some even speculate that Parton could be a collaborator on the track:

Parton's praise for Beyoncé's foray into country music is palpable. She has expressed unwavering support for the pop sensation's endeavors, celebrating Beyoncé's success on the Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart and eagerly anticipating the release of her full album. Parton's genuine excitement shows the significance of this potential collaboration, highlighting the impact it could have on the music industry as a whole.

Beyoncé revealed today (March 12) that the album will be titled, Cowboy Carter.On her Instagram, the singer shared a photo of a saddle that says, "Cowboy Carter." You can pre-order the upcoming on vinyl, pre-save, and buy merch on her website.

In a world where musical boundaries are constantly being pushed and redefined, the prospect of Beyoncé embracing country music fully is nothing short of groundbreaking. Parton's long-held hope that the song would find its way into the hands of an artist like Beyoncé may finally be realized, ushering in a new era of musical exploration and innovation. As fans eagerly await further developments, one thing remains certain: the possibility of Queen Bey singing "Jolene" would be iconic, because it's Beyoncé, duh.
