Miley Cyrusis spilling more details about her godmotherDolly Parton’s preferred method of communication.
During a Monday night appearance onLate Night with Seth Meyers, the 29-year-old “Midnight Sky” performer spoke about continually receiving faxes from the 76-year-old country legend and the irony of them appearing together ina T-Mobile commercial about 5G phones for Super Bowl LVIearlier this year.
But Cyrus told hostSeth Meyersthe commercial is far from Parton’s real-life practices. “It was amazing because, you know, she was doing it for the phones, yet every time I coordinate and kind of communicate with Dolly, it’s still through fax,” she dished. “So I don’t know what she’s talking about. She’s rarely on the phone. Next time we have to ‘Do it for the fax machine.'”

After receiving regular faxes from Parton, her goddaughter feels like she needs to step up her communication game. “I’ve started to try and make my own letters because there’s something so amazing just about a connection. It’s just not casual,” she explained. “You know that she took the time to get out, I guess, her typewriter.”

Cyrus then told a story about Parton writing an unrealistic song about her use of technology and sending it to her via several outdated formats. “She also made me a demo one time where she talks about being super high-tech,” she recalled. “But it was all through a cassette, which she then voice memo’d onto a flip phone, which someone then put onto the iPhone, which then got sent to me.”
“She has a phone. She just doesn’t use it, I don’t think,” the formerHannah Montanastar continued. “I think someone uses it for her and does the fax machine through the phone.”
“That’s another Lorne thing. I didn’t know beforehand I was gonna do that,” she detailed. “That was on Saturday afternoon… Elon had a very long monologue, and then they needed to fill however long of time that song is. And didn’t have the sketch between there, and [Michaels said,] ‘Miley, you’re doing it.'”

“Yes, I got a fax. And she loved it, and she loves when I introduce my fans to music in a way that’s still me,” she said. “Dolly doesn’t want anyone to copy-paste. She doesn’t want anyone to just sing her songs. She wants them to infuse themselves into her music because that’s what I think has made Dolly so loved, again, the authenticity.”
“I’ve taken a poll. I think Dolly is the most-loved person on the planet,” Cyrus quipped.
Last month,Reba McEntirealso spoke about faxing Parton to collaborate on their recent duet, an updated version of 1993’s “Does He Love You,” during an interview withApple Music’s Southern Accents Radio.
“Well, you don’t call Dolly, you fax her,” McEntire, 67, said. “And you fax your people and your people talk to her people.”
“That’s the only way I know to get ahold of her,” admitted the three-time Grammy winner. “I even askedKenny Rogersone time, I said, ‘Do you have Dolly’s cell number?’ He said, ‘No.’ So you fax her.”
