Carrie Underwood paid an emotional tribute to Dolly Parton during a recent concert at the Tanglewood Music Center in Lenox, Massachusetts, following news of the country legend's death. Underwood, who performed alongside Parton at the 2019 CMA Awards and recorded a cover of "I Will Always Love You" with her, spoke to the crowd about their friendship and Parton's impact before performing in her honour.

Rather than covering a well-known Parton song such as "Jolene" or "I Will Always Love You", Underwood chose to sing her own track "See You Again", framing it as a promise rather than a farewell. She wore a custom jacket embroidered with her initials and told fans that Parton "is always with us, as long as she's in our heads and our hearts", describing her late friend as someone who "transcends all space and all time".
