Miranda Lambert Pens A Tribute To Dolly Parton

Miranda Lambert is expressing her respect for Dolly Parton. In an article she wrote for Grammy.com, Miranda calls Dolly "an icon among icons," and praises her for becoming the definition of the word "entertainer" while never losing, "her East Tennessee roots and infectious humor, which makes her the lady we all adore." 


Lambert says she appreciates how Parton, "has proven herself well beyond the boundaries of country music, but she has carried the banner for country music no matter where her career has taken her." As she runs down Dolly's impressive list of accomplishments as a singer, songwriter, and actress, Miranda adds that the legendary performer has, "proven to all of us who look up to her that anything is possible, no matter where you are from, and that dreams really do come true."
