Lizzo described the connection as a lifeline, noting that Parton reached out to collaborate on her album and even insisted on crediting the singer's flute, Sasha. The tribute follows a tumultuous period for the Detroit native, who faced intense backlash and legal challenges starting in 2023. By 2026, a judge dismissed the harassment suit brought by a former employee, clearing the way for Lizzo to resume her career.
Parton, who passed away in August 2026 at age 80, became a north star for many in the industry. Beyoncé lauded the icon as a visionary who reshaped her approach to artistry, while Miley Cyrus, Parton’s goddaughter, described their bond as eternal. Parton’s final months were marked by a candid admission of her declining health, which she attributed to years of prioritizing her late husband’s care over her own well-being.
