Dolly Parton and Lainey Wilson brought the house down last night with a beautiful performance of “I Will Always Love You” at Dolly’s Pet Gala special in Nashville.

Last year iHeart Country had an album release party to celebrate Luke Combs’ new album, “Growin’ Old.” During that interview, Luke Combs was asked if we’re any closer to receiving a collaboration from him and Morgan Wallen. “We text about it. It’s like, you gotta find the perfect song for that, though. Our consensus is that we want to write it or it has to be the perfect song. If you got it, the perfect song, we’re listening.” Song-writers, get on it. Come up with the best damn song you’ve ever written and send it over…
