Of course, the netizens, particularly her fans, gave their all-out support to the singer. In fact, these words coming from their idol would be a favorable response to their dream of seeing her working with other music artists from different genres. What inspired this dream was the new friendship that was created between Parton and the BTS members following their participation in the recently concluded Grammy Awards.
The 2019 MusiCares Person of the Year was given a tribute at the 61st Grammy Awards show. She was also among the performers where she sang the soundtrack to her recent movie Dumplin’. On the other hand, BTS was among the presenters of a Grammy award.
Apart from their stylish red carpet walk, K-Pop also made history becoming the first Korean artists to set foot on the Grammys stage. They were caught on camera dancing to Miley Cyrus and Parton’s performance of “Jolene.” Immediately, this moment was like a dream-come-true for many fans and they couldn’t wait to see the country legend team up with the K-Pop giants.
