Epic Moment.
Straight up bullshit and tollaly wrong and disrespectful to me Lainey and you know what I'm talking about lainey straight up then you wonder why I'm getting really mad at you and pissed off look at what you are doing behind my back lainey straight up then ask your one question lainey why
🔥 Dolly and Kenny would love this way to go you two 🤘
I love how Lucas sings and the heart he has. Lucas son you are needed in the country music scene. Please get your butt back out there. You are part of country music.
This one brought me to tears she had a touch of Dolly in her voice and he sounds just like his daddy😢😢❤
Great job Lukas I love to hear you sing
Wow that's beautiful
lukas is fucking legit now. stole the show.
This was such a great surprise performance. When he walked out and started singing, I wondered who is this guy that sounds so much like Willie Nelson? I didn’t know till I left the concert and googled it! This was a great live performance. Lukas Nelson and Ashley McBryde were wonderful that night
Lainey actually sounded like Dolly
This song was written for Dolly and Kenny to record and they did. It is an AMAZING lyric. I am so glad this was included in the tribute. Great performance, too.
Very touching ❤❤❤❤❤❤RIP Dolly Parton 😢 🙏 💙 💔
My favorite performance of the night!❤️
They should record this…
It would be amazing to have this recorded & available on Spotify. Of course, nothing beats the original but these two nailed it. There voices complement each and the song so well. It was beautifully done.They performed this three years ago as well … time to lay the track down ya'll.. in honor of Dolly & Kenny 💜
not a bad rendition, obviously very hard to match the original
That dude sounds to the tee like his dad
Could only just bring myself to watch the tribute show today. Needless to say I’m a mess, especially with this performance. Wow. They done Dolly proud ❤️.
Lainey sounds a lot like Dolly! She must have been one of her biggest influences.
And I love Lukas, he sounds a lot like his dad Willie. He also sang for Loretta’s celebration at the Grand Ole Opry a few years ago.
Beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful.. Lainey and Lucas..what a great duet. Y'all made Dolly proud 💜🦋💜
I say one of the best performances of the night. So glad we have Lukas. Sounds so much like Willie.
Written by the great Don Schlitz who we also lost in 2026.
They need to record this as a single.
Lainey had a touch of Dolly in her voi e on this one. What a great duet!
Great job kids!
By far my favorite performance of the night. Goodness.
Beautiful! 😍
Sounded great till Lainey joined in, ugh her voice is so annoying! Not a fan!
This and Butterfly were my favorites but it was great.

Very nice to see how friends of Dolly Parton remember her. In the way she lived and like Lainey Wilson wrote WWDD the same everyone did who participated in this wonderful event and the way Dolly lived for country music and those who she give the best of her.
He sounds just like his dad
LMAO, 😂😂😂
