Dolly Parton features on a spoken-word interlude on Beyoncé's new country album Cowboy Carter.
The country music legend addresses the Texas Hold 'Em singer directly on an interlude titled Dolly P.
"Hey Miss Honey B, it's Dolly P. You know that h**sy with the good hair you sing about?" she says, referencing Beyoncé's 2016 song Sorry and its famous line "Becky with the good hair".
"Reminding me of someone I knew back when, except she has flaming locks of auburn hair, bless her heart. Just a hair of a different colour but it hurts just the same."
The interlude goes straight into Beyoncé's update of Dolly's 1973 classic Jolene. The new version features almost identical music but a new bridge and a significant overhaul of the lyrics.
For example, in the second line, Beyoncé sings, "I'm warning you, don't come for my man," instead of, "I'm beggin' of you, please don't take my man."
Cowboy Carter is presented as a broadcast by a fictional Texas radio station, and Dolly makes a second cameo later in the album as a radio DJ introducing the song Tyrant. Willie Nelson and Linda Martell, the first successful Black country artist, also appear as DJs.
The 9 to 5 hitmaker referenced her appearance on the album on Instagram by posting a throwback photo with the caption, "Just call me Dolly P," with a cowboy emoji.
In addition to Jolene, Beyoncé also covers the Beatles' Blackbird on her 27-track album. Her version, titled Blackbiiird, features newer Black country artists Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Tiera Kennedy and Reyna Roberts.
Other featured guests include Miley Cyrus, Post Malone, Willie Jones and Shaboozey. Beyoncé's six-year-old daughter Rumi Carter also appears on the song Protector, asking, "Mom, can I hear the lullaby please?" at the start of the track.
