Taylor Swift will certainly constantly like Dolly Parton. In a brand-new Hollywood Reporter account on the 77-year-old country songs tale, Swift was honest regarding all the factors she appreciates Parton, that’s preparing to launch her very first rock cd — Rockstar — later on this month.
“Dolly is a force of evolution and transformation in our industry, but she does it with such playful levity it almost looks effortless,” the pop celebrity informed the magazine. “Her sense of humor and mischief are easily my favorite things about her, because I think it forces the world to reconcile that a woman can be a serious artist and writer who also has raucous fun with it, can make people laugh and be in on every joke.”
“She’s never stopped challenging herself to clear new hurdles and explore new territory artistically, and I think that speaks to her great curiosity about the human condition,” included Swift. “She’s a legendary empath and the storyteller for the ages. She’s also having the most fun doing it.”
The meeting comes virtually specifically a year after Parton was sworn in right into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, an honor she was initially hesitant to accept as a result of her absence of experience in the rock category. After her induction, the “Jolene” vocalist took place to craft Rockstar, a 30-track collection of originals and rock standards including visitors such as Stevie Nicks, Paul McCartney, Elton John, Miley Cyrus, Lizzo, Pink and much more.
Swift’s love for Parton is common. Last year, after the 33-year-old “Anti-Hero” artist butted heads with Damon Albarn over his insurance claim that she doesn’t compose her very own tracks, Parton insisted that Swift is “a great writer — with or without anybody.” “I think she’s done great,” she stated of Swift in a meeting at the time. “She knows who she is and what she wants. And I’m the same way. I’m going to fight if it goes against what I feel is not right for me.”
