00:00You guys might have heard this story already, but she promised me that I was going to get to come
00:04to the show
00:05and just sit in the crowd and experience and enjoy her like everybody else, but
00:11when it's Dolly's world, it's Dolly's way, so
00:16she said, okay, Miley, I won't bring you on the stage tonight.
00:20Just watch the show, and suddenly I hear the best of both worlds as she's walking out onto the stage,
00:26and she's performing Hannah Montana.
00:30But she goes, I don't know if y'all know this, but my goddaughter's Hannah Montana, and she's here tonight.
00:37But don't bug her, because she just wants to watch the concert like everybody else.
00:44And since you guys already heard this story, that's the problem with online, I can't do anything new,
00:49so you guys might have already heard it.
00:51I'll tell you something that you don't know.
00:55Is that after our rehearsals, after playing the show, I actually have a Dolly mannequin in my bedroom.
01:04She gave it to me for Christmas.
01:06And it's dressed like her, it's built like her, and when I was by myself, I actually took my phone
01:17and I played Jolene for her on video,
01:19just holding up to the mannequin and lit a candle, and I put a flower down for her, and I
01:28said,
01:28Dolly, if you're here right now, flicker the lights.
01:32And I didn't say anything out loud, but the entire hallway started flickering.
01:40Max can vouch.
01:42He was there, but he didn't know what I said.
01:44So I know she's here with me tonight, and I'm feeling some of the feelings that I'm most afraid of,
01:51but having her here with me is getting me through, and having you here with me is getting me through.
01:57So no matter what it takes, the show is for you.
02:02And for Dolly.
02:03Dolly.
