Dolly Parton reveals that the real Jolene was actually just a little red-headed girl asking for an autograph.
“There was a little girl at one of our shows. She was a little red-headed girl, pretty as she could be. She came up to get an autograph.”
“She said, ‘Would you sign it to Jolene?’ I said, ‘Oh, that’s a pretty name, I’m gonna write a song about you.’”
“I said, ‘If you ever hear a song on the radio called Jolene, you’ll know it’s about you.’”
“I got back to the bus and I was singing, ‘Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene’ just so I wouldn’t forget the name.”
“That’s why the whole chorus is pretty much just saying the word Jolene.”

The feeling of losing my Aunt Dolly is beyond what feels right to share. Our most sacred moments were private and they’ll stay there behind the stage, beneath the glamour & between our hearts.
What I KNOW is Dolly would want me to feel it, write a song about it, and then continue on and be strong. I have an angel by my side. I always have. One of our last conversations was about music and metamorphosis. 🦋
I will always love her and want to make her proud. My heart breaks for the world, her family and friends who will miss her deeply. We’re in this loss together and we will see her in all of the most beautiful things. 💖 @dollyparton
🚨Dolly Parton officially left the rights and royalties to “Jolene” to Miley Cyrus in her will.
— “The song became hers from the very first moment she sang it. She will always be my girl.”
I accidentally said “Let’s take this outside” instead of “Let’s take this offline” during a Teams meeting today. Now I’m pretty sure I have to fight everyone in the parking lot at 4pm.
Drove my teenager 20mins to practice. Total silence, her choice. On minute 19 she said "you're like the only person I can be quiet with." Been thinking about that all day.
