Miley Cyrus isn’t going to shed her blonde hair anytime soon.
In a new clip from an appearance on NBC’s upcoming A Toast to 2022! New Year’s special, the 30-year-old singer shared how Dolly Parton, 76, reacted after she suggested she change her own appearance.
“I’ve never seen Dolly really scared,” Cyrus told Today host Hoda Kotb, 58. “But I said to her, ‘At the end of the year, I really want to do something different. I’m going to dye my hair brunette.” She acted like I’d told her the worst news imaginable. She clutched her beads, gasped, and walked back, and she said, ‘You can’t do that. You are me.'”
“I’m kind of an extension of Dolly Parton, where she looked like I just broke her the worst news you’ve ever heard. So I’ll be blonde. We’ll either complement each other, we’ll go together, or we’ll be complete opposites, because me and Dolly she says, ‘You are you, I am me and together we have the perfect show.'”

During the interview, Cyrus also opened up about her 20s and her New Year’s resolution for 2023.
“I think my resolve would be real — my instincts are very loud, but I’m not a good listener at times,” Cyrus explained. “Dolly told me her husband[Carl Thomas Dean]says, ‘You’re not hard of hearing. You don’t listen well.’ And I guess that would be kind of my resolution to not only listen to myself, but to listen to others as well.”
The Hannah Montana grad then shared how she feels now that she’s hitting her 30s.
“I always say that my truth and the opposite of what that is is also true. I’m kind of completely different, and then I’m kind of exactly the same,” Cyrus added. “Now in my 30s — I mean, my 20s were so much fun. If you don’t believe me, you can google it.”
Cyrus’ appearance on A Toast to 2022! will precede her own second NBC special, Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party, which she will co-host with Parton. A range of artists – including Sia, Latto and Fletcher – will also help the Superstars ring in the new year.
