Miley Cyrus Honors Dolly Parton with Emotional Tribute at Hollywood Bowl

Miley Cyrus Honors Dolly Parton with Emotional Tribute at Hollywood Bowl

A Night of Music and Memories

Miley Cyrus made a powerful return to the stage at the Hollywood Bowl, her first public concert in four years. The 18-song setlist featured tracks from her new album 'Bass Persuades' and surprise appearances by Model/Actriz and The Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne. But it was her heartfelt tribute to her late godmother, Dolly Parton, that left the audience in tears.

A Special Tribute

Performing a cover of 'Jolene,' Cyrus shared an emotional story about the only time she saw Parton in concert at the same venue. Despite her wish to remain anonymous, Parton playfully called her out from the stage, creating a moment that Cyrus now cherishes deeply. 'This memory is gold to me,' she said, expressing her enduring connection with Parton and her anticipation of seeing her again.
