Miley Cyrus pays a moving tribute to her godmother, Dolly Parton, following her passing at 80, calling the loss “beyond what feels right to share” and vowing to always honor her legacy.

The pair shared unforgettable stage moments, including a powerful New Year’s Eve medley of classics like “Wrecking Ball” and “I Will Always Love You.” Dolly, who battled cancer privately, devoted her life to uplifting others through initiatives like the Imagination Library and vital research funding.
