She spoke about her happiness in such partnerships while also coping with the recent loss of her husband, Carl Dean, of nearly 60 years.
Parton emphasized her lyrical boundaries for collaborations, stating, 'I told her, I said, 'Now, I don't cuss, I don't make fun of Jesus... but known to if I get mad enough.'
Discussing collaboration freedoms, Parton said, 'I think freedom is a great word for everybody... Just having the freedom to work and the freedom to express yourself the way you want to.'
Parton shared her excitement about working with Beyoncé, expressing, 'Yay, Beyoncé wants to sing with me! She wants to sing my song!'
