Miley Cyrus recalls Dolly Parton’s confusing tour habit as she gears for residency shows

Miley Cyrus could never understand her godmother Dolly Parton’s touring habits.

While Miley and her late godmother, Dolly, who died in August after a short illness, were extremely close, Miley admitted she was confused by Dolly’s insistence on having a bathtub in her tour bus.

She told Zane Lowe from Apple Music, “Dolly had the bathtub. I’m always like, ‘When are you taking the bath?’ In the parking lot or on the freeway? Like, if you’re doing it in the parking lot, then just go in the hotel. I never understood that.”

When Zane said, “No, no, no. The bath in the bus is serious,” Miley replied, “But also in the parking lot? At this point just go into the Four Seasons, Dolly. No, she’s on the bus. We are, like I said: We are different people.”

Miley, who recently released her latest album Bass Persuades, has been left devastated by the death of Dolly and shared details of their final conversation.

She told Lowe, “The time that we talked, which was the last time we would talk, it was actually me telling her about this record because even though we are so different, that’s what made us so perfect for each other is that she knew this, and I know this.”

Additionally, the Flowers hitmaker thinks Dolly’s authenticity is what drew people to her.

Miley continued, “She’s known for, I guess, the faux, the fake, the hair, the makeup, the show of it, but there’s a part of her that’s just what I think everyone gravitates toward – how real she is and how authentic she is.”

Currently, Miley Cyrus has released her latest album, Bass Persuades and has teased shows at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on October 16 and 18.
