Dolly Parton recently took to Instagram to seemingly shut down any criticism of her friend Beyoncé's debut country album, Cowboy Carter. In a post referencing a clip from her 1982 movie, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, Parton sang a line from the song 'A Lil' Ole Bitty Pissant Country Place,' emphasizing the message of standing up to negativity. Fans interpreted this as a defense of Beyoncé, who has faced backlash for her venture into country music.
While Cowboy Carter has garnered praise, some critics have questioned Beyoncé's transition from pop and R&B to country. Despite this, Parton has shown support for Beyoncé's creative choices, expressing excitement for the album and praising her cover of 'Jolene.'
