With Beyoncé’s country album around the corner, Dolly Parton let it slip she cleared her massive hit ‘Jolene’ for the album.

Some of the real winners of Super Bowl LVIII ended up being Beyoncé and the Beyhive. Not only did Queen Bey have the best commercial she also announced new music. After the Super Bowl, the music was delivered and we were put on notice Act II of her Trilogy would be delivered on March 29. “Texas Hold’em” confirmed Beyoncé is going full country and we need to get our cowboy boots ready. Since then not much has been revealed about Act II but we may have accidentally received a hint of one surprise.

According to Wyoming News, Dolly Parton accidentally let it slip that she cleared her iconic 1973 hit “Jolene” for Beyoncé. Dolly was asked about rumors of a duet for Beyoncé’s upcoming album and revealed the details.

“Well, I think she has! I think she’s recorded ‘Jolene’ and I think it’s probably gonna be on her country album, which I’m very excited about that.”

Parton then shared praise for Beyoncé and gave insight into their relationship by explaining they exchanged messages with one another.

“I love her!, She’s a beautiful girl and a great singer.” Dolly said “We’ve kind of sent messages back and forth through the years. And she and her mother were like fans, and I was always touched that they were fans, and I always thought she was great.”

Dolly doesn’t just let anyone mess with her classic work. However, if anyone checks all the boxes to get clearance it’s Queen Bey. Hopefully, we get to see both the icons on the stage performing the song as a duet. Also, Act II is almost here and we can assume Bey has more tricks up her sleeve.

This week in politics, the vibes are messy, alarming, and straight-up confusing. From late night TV being snatched off the air to vaccine policies getting hijacked, it’s giving “WTF is going on?” Let’s break down the headlines everyone’s talking about inside. First Amendment on the Chopping Block Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show has been pulled from ABC, and Stephen Colbert’s show? Cancelled completely. The official line is murky, but the bigger picture is loud. Free speech is being tested under the Trump administration. While Trump once said he’d “honor” the First Amendment, recent moves suggest he’s working off a remix version that only benefits him. Case in point? The Guardian reports his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times. A judge already tossed it out, saying Trump’s claims about “false content” violated federal rules. Still, the fact that these lawsuits and cancellations keep happening has people questioning the future of free expression in America. CDC Shake-Up Sparks Health Concerns Meanwhile, over at the CDC, things are getting political fast. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has basically turned the agency upside down, firing all 17 members of the vaccine advisory committee and replacing them with appointees that include vaccine skeptics. On top of that, the CDC director is out, high-level staffers are resigning, and decisions about vaccine safety are suddenly more about politics than science. Public health leaders are calling this move dangerous, saying it dismantles independent oversight just when Americans need clarity most. According to California’s government website, they are one of the few states pushing back on the federal government’s stance. California, Washington, and Hawaii aren’t taking it lying down. The states have formed an alliance pushing back on the feds, promising to keep vaccine guidance rooted in science, safety, and transparency. Their health officers are reviewing guidelines from trusted medical groups like the AAP and ACOG to ensure communities still have access to clinically recommended vaccines. Trump & Xi Meet About US TikTok’s Next Chapter And then there’s TikTok. After years of “will they, won’t they?” drama, Trump announced that he and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping approved a deal for TikTok’s U.S. operations. According to BBC, the plan reportedly hands control to a group of U.S. investors, sidestepping a shutdown. Trump called the call with Xi “productive” on Truth Social, and even, teased a face-to-face meetup at the APEC summit in South Korea this fall. From free speech battles to vaccine wars and TikTok drama, this week in politics has us all asking the same thing: WTFGO?
