Cam's song "Diane" is winning over listeners for its honest lyrics and soaring vocals. Inspired by Dolly Parton's classic song "Jolene," "Diane" gives voice to the "other woman" in the scenario. On Tuesday, April 3, Cam appeared on Good Morning America to perform the song and received an unsuspected message from one of her biggest idols: Dolly Parton herself.
In a pre-recorded message, Dolly offers some words of encouragement for the singer and shares her appreciation for Cam adding a new prospecting to the "Jolene" narrative.
"You did good on that," Parton said in the message. "I wish I could be there to hear it in person, but I'll be watching you on TV. I'm watching you girl."
Cam was clearly moved by the message from Parton.
"She's talented. She's smart; she's a huge icon for all women," the rising star said of the country legend.

This isn't the first time Parton has reached out to Cam. In February, Cam shared a note she received from Parton on her Instagram.
