However, nothing could top the Queen of Country leading them all in a rousing rendition of her signature ballad, all while clad in bedazzled black leather. Dolly, we’re not worthy. Watch the full performance in the clip above. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4585983/dolly-parton-miley-cyrus-jolene-the-voice/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4585983/dolly-parton-miley-cyrus-jolene-the-voice/"},"headline":"Watch Dolly Parton and Miley Cyrus Sing a Jaw-Dropping Version of 'Jolene' on 'The Voice'","datePublished":"2016-11-30T16:36:12.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:39:02.295Z","description":"The country star joined her goddaughter for a performance with the Pentatonix","url":"https://time.com/4585983/dolly-parton-miley-cyrus-jolene-the-voice/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","Television","Music","Miley Cyrus","The Voice","Culture"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4d6ff2014a7bac89/6988b00eab6d77b8da6ac191/dolly-parton-jolene-miley-cyrus-the-voice.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4d6ff2014a7bac89/6988b00eab6d77b8da6ac191/dolly-parton-jolene-miley-cyrus-the-voice.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The Voice - Season 11","caption":"The Voice - Season 11","creditText":"NBC—NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4585983/dolly-parton-miley-cyrus-jolene-the-voice/","name":"Watch Dolly Parton and Miley Cyrus Sing a Jaw-Dropping Version of 'Jolene' on 'The Voice'"}}]}] ```
