“I’m on my way to see Kellie and Ben. They don’t know that I’m coming, unless they can smell me. She knows my perfume. She says she can smell me a mile away, but today, I’m hoping she don’t, because I’m going to walk in there and I’m going to surprise her,” Parton says as she walks backstage.
“I hope she’ll be pleased,” she adds. “If not, I’m going anyway!”
When Parton bursts onto the set of Pickler & Ben, the hostess can’t hide her shock and joy.
This is going to be a hard guest to top!
The Faith Hill produced series premieres Sept. 18 on CMT.
