McEntire first began her friendship with Parton when she performed alongside each other at the Grand Ole Opry in 1977. The pair became instant friends when Parton took McEntire under her wing.

The two soon found out they had a lot in common. The pair share a great love for gospel music, country music, and being leaders and mentors to others. Unfortunately, over time, the two have shared hardships.

In conversation with Parton, Perry revealed that Parton could sing six songs in one session.

On McEntire’s podcast “Living & Learning with Reba McEntire,” Parton and her friend opened up about painful experiences in their careers and personal lives. Notably, McEntire made headlines for her recent divorce.

One thing the stars do not share, though, is a song. Despite having chart-topping careers, the close friends have never toured or released an album together. An insider dished it is the dream of the pair to do so.

“For years they’ve also talked about doing a duet, which they both say they’ll write every time they see each other.”

Parton recently achieved a Golden Globe nomination for her song “Girl in the Movie,” which she composed for the Netflix Film "Dumplin." Linda Perry, who produced the soundtrack with Parton, praised her professionalism.

In conversation with Parton, Perry revealed that Parton could sing six songs in one session, unlike younger musicians who cannot. Parton’s iconic craftsmanship was lauded in a tribute performance in February 2019.
