Miley Cyrus, who is set to star in a New Year’s Eve special alongside Dolly Parton, said this week the country legend “clutched her pearls” when the “Party in the USA” singer suggested she could dye her hair.
“I’ve never seen Dolly really scared,” Cyrus Hoda Kotb said in an interview clip from A Toast to 2022!. published Thursday. “But I told her, you know, by the end of the year I really wanted to do something different. I think I’m going to dye my hair brunette. She acted like I told her the worst news imaginable. “
Cyrus said the “Jolene” singer “clasped her pearls, gasped, and walked back, and she was like, ‘You can’t do that! You are me!’ So I’m kind of an extension of Dolly Parton, where she looked like I just broke her the worst news you’ve ever heard.”
Cyrus confirmed that she and her famous godmother will both be blondes for their co-hosted performance on Saturday night.

She added the pair would either “compliment,” “go well,” or “completely be the opposite,” as she explained Parton told her, “You are you, I am me, and together we have the perfect show. ”

“I think my resolve would be real — my instincts are very loud, but I’m not a good listener at times,” she said. “Dolly told me her husband says, ‘You’re not hard of hearing. You’re a bad listener.’ And I guess that would be kind of my resolution to not only listen to myself, but to listen to others as well.”

“I’m kind of completely different, and then I’m kind of exactly the same,” Cyrus said. “Now in my 30s — I mean, my 20s were so much fun. If you don’t believe me, you can google it…”
