By the end, Clarkson had literally bowed to Parton. “I am so honored that Dolly asked me to reimagine this iconic song, ‘9 to 5,’ with her,” the singer shared in a statement when the duet originally arrived in September. “She is so talented, an inspiration to all women, and one of the sweetest people you will ever meet. I hope y’all like what we did, but even if you don’t, remember I got to sing a duet with the magical Dolly Parton and now have bragging rights til the end of time!”
In a separate statement, Parton added: “Nobody sings like Kelly Clarkson. She makes any song come alive. I love her voice on ‘9 to 5’ and I am so proud I got to sing with her on it.”
