“She truly is an angel walking the earth.” That was the first thing Sabrina Carpenter thought the first time she stood before Dolly Parton.

She told the story herself, in a message she wrote after the country legend’s death.
She remembered the shared laughter, the conversations she treasured, and even the joke they made about looking like sisters.


She said she would carry Dolly’s wisdom in her pocket, her sharp wit, and that playful outlook on life for the gray days to come.


Sabrina didn’t speak of a distant idol, but of someone who had a profound impact on her personally.
“There will never be another like you”, she wrote, convinced that the whole world will spend a lifetime searching for that unique spark Dolly had.
And she ended with the simplest and hardest thing to say: she will always love her. 🦋
