Of spending time with Cyrus, Parton told Us Weekly, “He did my Christmas special, the Mountain Magic Christmas. We got a chance to talk a lot and I got to meet his girlfriend. She seemed like a sweet girl.”

Parton went on to say that Cyrus is like a brother to her.

“I love Billy Ray like I love Miley. They’re family,” Parton said.

Parton may be in her mid-70s, but she’s not showing any signs of slowing down. The country icon recently released a cake mix and brownie collection with Duncan Hines.

Of the partnership, Parton said, “We do have the buttermilk biscuit, the sweet cornbread and the fabulously fudge brownie mix and the caramel turtle brownie mix. [I’m] very proud to be part of Duncan Hines and all that they stand for and all that they do so well.”
