Miley Cyrus Tearfully Remembers Dolly Parton At Hollywood Bowl Concert, Performs ‘Jolene’

Miley Cyrus performed at the Hollywood Bowl on Friday, marking her first full-length concert in nearly four years. During the show, which follows the release of her September album “Bass Persuades,” Cyrus became tearful while paying tribute to her late godmother and country music icon, Dolly Parton.

Cyrus told the audience that she was partly inspired to play the venue because it was the only place she had ever seen Parton perform live. She shared memories of spending time backstage with Parton and expressed a desire to have experienced a night of Parton's music as a member of the audience.

The Hollywood Bowl appearance is part of two sold-out shows at the Los Angeles venue.
