Oh…honey, honey! Beyonce doesn’t need bodyguard when she has big names like Dolly Parton coming to her defense.

Despite the critical (and commercial) acclaim that helped Bey’s latest album, ‘Cowboy Carter,‘ gallop to the top of the Billboard 200 and Country charts, the project was still greeted by a wave of criticism from the genre’s loyalists – many of whom suggested the music megastar’s line dance to Bluegrass-inspired sounds was “gimmicky.”

Tired of the hoopla, Parton – whose classic ‘Jolene‘ was reimagined by the 42-year-old for ‘Cowboy’ – reiterated her approval of the 2024 take on the timeless tune.

Recently spotted white-water rafting in Wyoming, photos from the outing landed on the desk of Cassie and Adria English‘s respective legal representatives – both of whom had some condemnatory comments about the 54-year-old’s splish-splash in the Cowboy State.
