Dolly Parton Joins Sabrina Carpenter Remix Project

Dolly Parton collaborated with Sabrina Carpenter on a remix of Carpenter's song 'Please Please Please' for the deluxe edition of her album 'Short 'n Sweet'. Parton, known for her clean image, set ground rules for the collaboration, insisting on removing explicit language, which resulted in the original line 'I beg you, don’t embarrass me motherfucker' being changed to 'I beg you, don’t embarrass me like the others.' Despite these conditions, Parton expressed admiration for Carpenter and enjoyed the collaboration, highlighting the freedom to work with different artists. Parton's participation added a country twist to the pop song and was part of her ongoing efforts to collaborate across genres. This collaboration comes amid Parton's recent personal loss, with the death of her husband Carl Dean, marking a poignant time in her career.
