That’s right, superstar and iconic country music legend Dolly Parton will join voices with pop music superstar Katy Perry for a can’t-miss, first-ever live performance together on the 51st Annual ACM Awards Show. Both superstars are excited about the epic duet.

Dolly posted the message to her Twitter account, “I’ll be collaborating with the ever amazing and oh so talented @katyperry at this years @ACMAwards!”

Katy then re-tweeted Dolly’s message and added her own message, “MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED🏼 I shall remember though that I am but one sequin on this living legend’s costume!”
