The world definitely lost a light, and it\u2019s hard for me to talk about,&#8221; Musgraves said Monday  night. &#8220;I know how much Dolly meant to everybody also in this room. I think why it feels so dark is it\u2019s already hard to navigate these times right now, and then we lose a matriarch like that. It\u2019s the closest thing we\u2019ve ever had to royalty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI definitely, for sure, I would not be able to stand up here and do what I do if I hadn\u2019t been for Dolly Parton.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Grammy-winner, best known for her &#8220;Golden Hour&#8221; album, added her song &#8220;Rainbow&#8221; to her setlist over the weekend in honor of Parton. At her Boston stop, Musgraves said Parton was the inspiration for the song. <\/p>\n<p>While she sang the tribute to Parton, images of the country legend flashed over the giant screen above the stage. <\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201c\ud835\udc3c\ud835\udcbb \ud835\udcce\ud835\udc5c\ud835\udcca \ud835\udccc\ud835\udcb6\ud835\udcc3\ud835\udcc9 \ud835\udcc9\ud835\udcbd\ud835\udc52 \ud835\udcc7\ud835\udcb6\ud835\udcbe\ud835\udcc3\ud835\udcb7\ud835\udc5c\ud835\udccc, \ud835\udcce\ud835\udc5c\ud835\udcca \ud835\udc54\ud835\udc5c\ud835\udcc9\ud835\udcc9\ud835\udcb6 \ud835\udcc5\ud835\udcca\ud835\udcc9 \ud835\udcca\ud835\udcc5 \ud835\udccc\ud835\udcbe\ud835\udcc9\ud835\udcbd \ud835\udcc9\ud835\udcbd\ud835\udc52 \ud835\udcc7\ud835\udcb6\ud835\udcbe\ud835\udcc3.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/z7DbvjLllN\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/z7DbvjLllN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 K A C E Y (@KaceyMusgraves) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/KaceyMusgraves\/status\/2093778444026855541?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">August 29, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The tribute didn&#8217;t stop at &#8220;Rainbow.&#8221; Musgraves also launched into a cover of one Parton&#8217;s most famous songs, &#8220;9 to 5.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Parton was laid to rest on Friday in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnewyork.com\/news\/national-international\/dolly-parton-niece-shares-emotional-tribute-private-funeral\/6542029\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">private funeral service<\/a> for immediate family.
