Dolly Parton is set to co-host Miley Cyrus' New Year's Eve Special, which will air live on NBC from Miami on Saturday, December 31. The event will also stream live on Peacock.
Parton replaces last year's co-host Pete Davidson to ring in the New Year. The show, which is executive produced by Lorne Michaels, will feature a star-studded lineup of performances and special guests.
"Miley's New Year's Eve Party is about getting glamorous and dressing your best," says Cyrus in a promotional video released alongside the announcement.
"Well, we do that every day. Don't we, Miley?" replies Parton.
"You taught me well," the "Plastic Hearts" singer told the country icon, who then said of the show, "It's gonna be legendary."
"The inaugural Miley's New Year's Eve Party was an unqualified success and we know this year's show will be just as spectacular, with plenty of surprises and lots of fun," reads a press release from Jen Neal, Executive Vice President, Entertainment Live Events. "We can't wait to get the party started."
Cyrus has performed Parton's song "Jolene" on several occasions, and the two have even performed the song together a number of times in the past.
