Getting to know the 17 year old’s dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, after his skyrocket to fame with “Achy Breaky Heart,” she has followed his daughter’s career since birth. Now, as she’s growing into a woman and decidedly showing it, the 64 year old country singer says she’s doing everything right.
“I’m just real proud of her,” she said. “She does not need my advice, but she’s often asking for information and advice, and I tell her what I know, but I think the girl’s doing all right without me.”
While performing a duet at Dollywood, their special relationship was announced on stage by Dolly Parton. “Fairy Godmother” is the best way she could describe her relationship to Miley, and it’s pretty fitting given the fairytale rise to fame for the young singer! Asked about her opinion of Cyrus’ outfit after the concert, she couldn’t help but spout praise for the 17 year old.
“If you think I’m going to sit here and pass judgment on Miley, you’re wrong,” Parton told Access Hollywood. “I think she’s beautiful. I love her. She’s trying to grow up, you know, I remember when I was horny and young.”
“When you were what?” Access asked.
“Horny and young,” Parton repeated. “I’m still horny!”
You’ve got to love her. It’s fitting that she serve as a role-model for Miley, as she was the inspiration for her dad’s rise to fame. Billy recently told the press that he’s thrilled the two are so close.
“It’s great that she has someone like Dolly to idolize, someone to look up to. Having that type of influence in her life, it’s so amazing and so special.”
Dolly Parton, fairy godmother or not, must be doing something right. A recent celebration titled Dollywood commemorated 25 years of success in her career, and the busty singer is still going strong. What do you think of her relationship with Miley? Is this a good thing for the young singer? Let me know in the comment section!
