Dolly Parton warns Sabrina Carpenter she doesn't 'make fun of Jesus,' use swear words ahead of collaboration
"Of course, she can talk a little bad now and then," Parton told told Knox News.
"I told her, I said, 'Now, I don't cuss. 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,'" she said.
The rendition of the duo's collaboration of "Please Please Please," was posted on YouTube on February 14, 2025.
Carpenter's original version of the song contains the phrase, "I beg you, don't embarrass me, motherf---er, oh, please, please, please."
The version with Parton was changed to "I beg you, don't embarrass me like the others, oh, please, please, please."
The music video depicts Parton and Carpenter driving together in what appears to be a pickup truck, with Carpenter wearing a sweater with a headband and gloves, an apparent nod to retro style and a stark departure from Carpenter's outfits in the original "Please Please Please" music video.
"Please Please Please," was part of Carpenter's Short n' Sweet Deluxe album released in August 2024.
This isn't the first time Parton has partnered up with another big-name artist. In 2024, Parton collaborated with Beyoncé on several songs for Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter" album, including a cover of Parton's classic, "Jolene."
"She was so sweet," Parton said of Carpenter. "And Beyoncé's great and Miley [Cyrus], you know I love her. So, I'm just having fun with all of it."
While Parton, who is working on "Dolly: An Original Musical," scheduled to premiere July 18 – August 17, 2025, at The Fisher Center for the Performing Arts Nashville, Tenn., said she is not sure what collaboration will be next, it will definitely be someone she appreciates.
"Whoever calls me that I like. (And) I'll I say, 'Yeah, I'll do that," Parton said of picking her next duet partner.

Levitt Pavilion's summer concert series in MacArthur Park to continue despite ICE raids
The annual Levitt Pavilion Los Angeles summer concert series held at MacArthur Park will go on despite the ongoing immigration raids, organizers said. After canceling its first performance of the season on June 21, Levitt LA returned to its scheduled programming on June 28 with a performance from rock band Dengue Fever. The stage will welcome musical performances every Saturday through Aug. 30, featuring acts like Medusa, Eddie Chacon, Wazumbians, La Resistencia, Kinky and Redd Kross. 'I have nothing but respect and utmost gratitude for the team and artists who want to move forward. Why should this stop in MacArthur Park?' Levitt LA executive director Allegra Padilla said. 'Our safety is not guaranteed in places that are supposed to be our sanctuaries, like hospitals, schools and other places, so we might as well continue to come together in the heart of our city and enjoy the vibrant and beautiful culture that makes L.A. unique,' she added. Close to 2,800 people have been arrested in the L.A. area since the raids began in early June, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Federal agents, accompanied by members of the National Guard, descended on MacArthur Park on Monday morning to carry out enforcement operations. Rumors of ICE activity had spread in the Westlake area prior to the sweeps. It's unclear if anyone was arrested. Levitt LA has been hosting free concerts for the past 18 years. In previous years, the outdoor stage has held performances from Grammy-winning band Los Lobos, cumbia group Sonora Dinamita and L.A. rock band La Santa Cecilia. Padilla added that the concerts will be streamed live on its Facebook page and YouTube channel for members of the community who are 'afraid to leave their homes' because of the ICE raids. The organization will also be hiring private security for the event and providing safety tips on knowing your rights when dealing with immigration through their social media accounts. Padilla said Levitt LA is prepared to pivot to a different venue in case MacArthur Park is not a place where programming can continue. 'We're lucky to have a network of venues that are willing to support us in the case that we may have to make a shift,' she added. Attendance numbers were low during its last event compared to previous years, but Padilla hopes the public continues to enjoy the arts that 'will get us through these tough times.' 'The heart of creativity and our joy is the resistance and unity that we need at this moment.' The canceled performance scheduled for June 21 by the cumbia band Vilma Díaz y la Sonora will be rescheduled to July 26.
