She's one of the most legendary musicians in the business but even Dolly Parton gets excited by other artists.
Ahead of her Glastonbury set today (June 29) the '9 to 5' hitmaker spoke of her joy at being asked to write with Adele for her upcoming album, reportedly titled 25.
She told The Sun on Sunday: ''I was so excited a year or so ago because I was hearing she was coming to Nashville and wanted to write with me.

''I was honoured to find out she's a fan because I think she's spectacular.''
There's no word on whether or not the pair actually did sit down to pen a tune, but either way, Adele's new record is expected at the end of 2014.
Dolly also had kind words for Taylor Swift, saying: "I know her and her family. She's a great girl and a big talent.
"I admire her a lot for how she's handled herself.''
Dolly, who is Miley Cyrus's godmother, is taking to the stage at Glasto today with what is bound to be a spectacular set.
