The music industry is in mourning following the passing of country legend, Dolly Parton. Faced with this irreparable loss, her goddaughter, singer Miley Cyrus, shared a moving message on her social media, highlighting the close and personal bond they shared for decades.
Cyrus emphasized that, although the world knew Parton as a global icon, the most significant memories she keeps of her belong to her private sphere. According to the singer of The Climb, those moments of intimacy will remain guarded, far from media attention and the glare of the stage.
The pain of losing my Aunt Dolly is indescribable. Our most sacred moments were intimate and will remain there, backstage, beneath the glamour, in our hearts.

A relationship forged from birth
The connection between both artists began long before Miley achieved world fame. The friendship between Dolly Parton and Billy Ray Cyrus was consolidated in the 90s, when both collaborated on various musical projects. It was precisely after Miley’s birth in 1992 that Billy Ray asked Parton to become her godmother, sealing a bond that would last a lifetime.
Over time, this relationship transcended the personal to become a prolific artistic collaboration. Pop culture followers will fondly remember Parton’s participation in the iconic series Hannah Montana, where she played the aunt of Miley’s character, consolidating a chemistry that went beyond the screen.
Life lessons and music
In their final farewell, Cyrus revealed that their last conversations revolved around the capacity for transformation through art. Miley shared that Parton encouraged her to channel her feelings into songwriting and to maintain the strength needed to keep moving forward.
“I have an angel by my side. I always have. One of our last conversations was about music and transformation,” confessed the artist, who also expressed her firm intention to continue her career honoring her godmother’s legacy. “I will always love her and I want her to be proud,” she added.
Finally, Miley Cyrus extended her condolences to the family, friends, and millions of followers who mourn Parton’s passing today, assuring that her essence will continue to be present in everything beautiful that the world has to offer.
