Dolly Parton and Sabrina Carpenter remixed a song together, however, there were some conditions put in place before they got to work.
With t-shirts reading ‘Jesus was a Carpenter’, her songs containing expletives and enacting various sex moves on stage, the 79-year-old country musician had a few things to lay out before she agreed to work with Carpenter.
Parton and Carpenter collaborated on a remix of Carpenter’s hit track ‘Please Please Please’.
And if you listen to the remix, you might notice a few differences.
In Carpenter’s original, one line reads: “I beg you, don’t embarrass me motherf**ker.”
However, in her duet with Parton, the line reads: “I beg you, don’t embarrass me like the others.”
And Parton has opened up about her approach when it came to working with Carpenter, telling Knox News the younger musician ‘can talk a little bad now and then’ and so she laid out four ground rules.

Parton revealed: “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 added.
A video of the pair shared on Parton’s TikTok shows the ‘9 to 5’ singer joking with Carpenter about her use of ‘dirty words’.
“I couldn’t say those words in front of my kids,” Parton continued. “We know both versions.”
One TikToker wrote: “This is so stinking cute I can’t handle it.”
Another added: “My two favorite singers collaborating on one of my favorite songs?!”
While a third said: “They are absolutely twins to me. I would watch if they had a TV show.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Parton went on to say Carpenter was ‘so sweet’ and how much she has ‘fun’ working with other musicians.
She said: “I love being able to have that freedom. I think freedom is a great word for everybody, anybody, in anything you do. Just having the freedom to work and the freedom to express yourself the way you want to. To do what you want to, go where you want to.
“I think that’s been the greatest joy is just thinking, ‘Yay, Beyoncé wants to sing with me! She wants to sing my song!’ Yeah, absolutely. Which train do I get on that’s going to get me there the quickest?”
