\n Miley Cyrus<\/a> has revealed what she and her godmother,<\/a> the late singer-songwriter Dolly Parton,<\/a> spoke about in their final conversation.\n <\/p>\n

\n Speaking to DJ and producer Zane Lowe on his Apple Music show<\/a> in an episode released Thursday, Cyrus became emotional discussing her close relationship <\/a>with Parton, who died in August aged 80 following a brief cancer battle.\n <\/p>\n

\n Cyrus said that Parton was always the first person she sent her new vinyls to. \u201cAnd this time around I\u2019m going to send her a vinyl because I always do,\u201d said Cyrus, whose 10th studio album \u201cBass Persuades\u201d released on Friday.\n <\/p>\n

\n Cyrus paused, telling Lowe she was \u201cjust trying to keep myself together.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cThe time that we talked, which was the last time we would talk, it was actually me telling her about this record because, even though we are so different, that\u2019s what made us so perfect for each other is that \u2013 and she knew this and I know this \u2013 she is known for\u2026 the faux, the fake, the hair, the makeup, the show of it. But there\u2019s a part of her that\u2019s just what everyone gravitates towards, (which) is how real she is and how authentic she is.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n The Grammy winner reflected on the parallels between herself and Parton, who she said provided something of a guiding light to a young Cyrus navigating stardom through her alter ego Hannah Montana<\/a> on her own Disney Channel show.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cThere was a time in my life \u2013 we hit on it with Hannah \u2013 (where) so much of my life was about persona,\u201d she recalled, \u201cAnd I think a way that I could look at that as, you can have a persona and still be who you are, is because I had Dolly.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\"Dolly<\/p>\n

\n Parton\u2019s friendship with Cyrus\u2019 father, \u201cAchy Breaky Heart\u201d singer Billy Ray-Cyrus, earned her the role of godmother. And Parton\u2019s advice proved invaluable to Cyrus.\n <\/p>\n

\n Cyrus spoke about how the \u201creally stabilizing peers that I have in my life (are from) generations before me.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cAnd they\u2019ve laid down, brick-by-brick, the road that I travel now. And they aren\u2019t always going to be here for me to call them and say, \u2018What do I do now?\u2019 Which I always did with Dolly,\u201d she said.\n <\/p>\n

\n Cyrus added that, \u201cDolly was just always right about stuff,\u201d and would give Cyrus advice like, \u201cGet your hair teased and get a dress that you love,\u201d when encouraging her to get back on stage if Cyrus was in a slump.\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Miley Cyrus has revealed what she and her godmother, the late singer-songwriter Dolly Parton, spoke about in their…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":620046,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[146,85,46],"class_list":["post-620045","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620045","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=620045"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620045\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/620046"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=620045"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=620045"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=620045"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
