In a new interview with Knox News, Dolly Parton revealed that she set some ground rules before collaborating with pop star Sabrina Carpenter on a remix of the song, “Please Please Please.” “I told her, ‘Now, I don’t cuss,’” Parton recalled. “‘I don’t make fun of Jesus. I don’t talk bad about God, and I don’t say dirty words on camera, but known to if I get mad enough.’” Parton went on to praise Carpenter, saying of her new collaborator, “She was so sweet” even if she does “talk a little bad now and then.” Parton also shared an update on how she was holding up after the recent loss of her husband, Carl Dean. “I’m doing better than I thought I would,” she said. “I’ve been with him 60 years. So, I’m going to have to relearn some of the things that we’ve done. But I’ll keep him always close. I’m at peace that he’s at peace. But that don’t keep me from missing and loving him.” (Billboard)
