The 'Run Rose Run' author will host the ACM Awards on Monday night
Co-host Dolly Parton speaks onstage during the 57th Academy of Country Music Awards at Allegiant Stadium on March 07, 2022 in Las Vegas, Nevada."I often go into my museum in Dollywood, you know, because I’m in the mood to be there or we’re in there doing something or putting something new in. And I look at all that stuff and think 'When, how did that happen?'" she says. "I shake my head when I see, like a documentary or something.
"He’d give me ideas for the songs. I gave him ideas that he expanded on for the characters and incorporated in the book," says Parton, whose "Run, Rose, Run" album includes 12 new songs. "So it really was a magical team." "We liked each other right away. And we kind of made the deal right there — no lawyers. We didn't want anybody in the way," Patterson says.
"Oh God, I used to fight all the time with Porter Waggoner," she says of the late singer, who died in 2007. "We were known for, you know, for our disagreements. But he gave me a big hand up and I always appreciated that. But I had always wanted to be my own star, and I said that at the start. I didn’t want to be just a girl singer in somebody else’s group."
