“Dolly, you were the barometer. The north star,” Beyoncé wrote … adding, “You taught so many lessons on how to be uniquely oneself.”
Beyoncé and Dolly famously worked together on Bey’s 2024 “Cowboy Carter” album, with Dolly making a memorable appearance on the record and introducing Beyoncé’s reimagined version of “Jolene.”
Bey said she’ll always treasure getting the chance to collaborate with Dolly … writing, “Thank you for your profound impact on the world. You are an angel who has made this world a happier place because of your joyful art. You are truly one of one. Rest peacefully.”
As we reported, Dolly died Tuesday at 80 following a brief battle with cancer. Her reps told us she was surrounded by loved ones at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center in Nashville.
Beyoncé joins a long list of stars honoring Dolly, including Reba McEntire, Jane Fonda, Kacey Musgraves and Sabrina Carpenter … all sharing memories and celebrating the one-of-a-kind entertainer’s enormous heart and legacy.
