Dolly Parton & Katy Perry Perform “Coat of Many Colors”, “Jolene” & “9 to 5” at 2016 ACM Awards [VIDEO]
The 2016 Academy of Country Music Awards, or simply the ACM Awards, were held on Sunday night, April 3rd, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Many country stars took the stage yesterday to treat the fans in the arena or at home watching with show-stopping performances but one particularly stole the show - and that was Ms. Dolly Parton, y’all. The country music legend performed a medley of hits at the 2016 ACM Awards, and she wasn't alone on the stage. She was accompanied by pop star Katy Perry, who is a huge fan of Dolly and had the following to say when the news first broke that they were doing a duet:

The three songs Dolly and Katy sang together were: “Coat of Many Colors”, “Jolene” and “9 to 5”. It was the very last song of the three that got all of the people at the MGM Grand Garden Arena to stand up and live it up.
While I don't consider this performance to have been "spectacular", it was exciting and cool to watch. And, by the way, no doubt Katy will be saving the video to re-watch for the rest of her life. Another thing she can check off from her bucket list!
