Tennessee Gives Dolly Parton Her Own Day — & Miley Cyrus Shows Up as the Ultimate Goddaughter

If Tennessee was ever going to give someone her own day, it was always going to be Dolly Parton. The state is officially designating Jan. 19, 2026 — Parton’s 80th birthday — as “Dolly Parton Day,” with Gov. Bill Lee signing a proclamation honoring the country star known for her big blonde hair and even bigger heart — and her life, legacy, and impact on the Volunteer State, per The Tennessean.

But the sweetest part of the timing is who shows up right before the birthday candles: Miley Cyrus.
