Dolly Parton laid down four rules before she started working with Sabrina Carpenter. The country music icon teamed up with the pop star for a remix of Sabrina's hit Please Please Please. They took part in a black-and-white, Thelma and Louise-style music video for the track as they cruised in a pickup truck.
Sabrina is known for her racy and innuendo filled lyrics, that has shot her to worldwide fame. She even racked up the most Ofcom complaints in years thanks to her BRIT Awards performance last month. However, Dolly likes to keep things a lot more mellow and insisted Sabrina would be the one who'd have to budge on her style before they collaborated.
Sabrina had to clean up her act for the duet to happen as Dolly gave her four strict rules to follow. "Of course, she can talk a little bad now and then," the Jolene hitmaker admitted as she spoke of Sabrina. She then revealed her most important rules that she told the former Disney star.
"I told her, I said, 'Now, I don't cuss. I don't make fun of Jesus. I don't talk bad about God, and I don't say dirty words, on camera, but known to if I get mad enough'," Dolly revealed to Knox News .
In order to make the song Dolly-approved, Sabina had to change a lyric in her original track. She sings: "I beg you, don't embarrass me, motherf***er, oh, please, please, please." Yet a more PC change saw Dolly and Sabrina say: "'I beg you, don't embarrass me like the others, oh, please, please, please.
" It wasn't the only thing that changed as part of the remix, as Sabrina chose to make a huge change to her music video. The original video, released last June, starred Irish actor Barry Keoghan alongside Sabrina while they were still an item, depicting the pair getting cosy in prison. Following their break up in December, she appeared eager to rewrite history with a fresh take on Please, Please, Please, as the video with Dolly concluded with a shot of a man tied up and gagged in the truck's trailer with a bag over his head.
Eagle-eyed fans spotted the man's attire bared a striking resemblance to what Barry wore in the original music video. And fans are lapped up the plot twist. "Barry was the only man to ever survive a Sabrina video so she had to come back and make things right," one YouTube commenter quipped.
Another chimed in: "This is so much shade to Barry and I couldn't love it any more." Someone else commented: "You don't mess with our Sabrina. She was always way too good for him anyway.
" Saltburn star Barry hit back at the online backlash over the relationship break-up, saying he received messages filled with lies, hate, and disgusting comments. He wrote: "The messages I have received - no person should ever have to read them. "Absolute lies, hatred, disgusting commentary about my appearance, character, how I am as a parent and every other inhumane thing you can imagine.
"Dragging my character and everything I worked extremely hard for and stand for. Talking about how I was a heroine baby and how I grew up and dragging my dear mother into it also." Like this story?
