It sounds like Dolly Parton most definitely has a fan in the Queen of Country music, Dolly Parton. The legendary country singer has praised Swift on multiple occasions, with one of her most notable mentions coming when Parton defended the star against allegations she doesn’t write her own songs. “She’s a great writer — with or without anybody,” Parton told Hollywood Life of Swift in January, “That’s one of the things I admire about her because she’s never sold herself. She’s never felt like she’s had to sell her body. She’s always had good taste in how she’s presented herself and with her songs,” Parton continued, noting, “And she’s very creative and very, very, very smart in the marketing of her life. She knows who she is and what she wants.”

But that’s hardly the last time Parton had sweet things to say about the “Anti-Hero” singer. The following November, the superstar heaped praise on Swift again for the huge success of her album “Midnights,” which saw Swift score 10 songs in the Top 10 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. “I think that is sensational, and congratulations to her,” Parton told Access Hollywood, admitting she’d been a fan of Swift’s for years. “I think she’s spectacular, great writer, and I love how she presents herself; she’s always been such a pro,” she added. But is the feeling mutual?
