Kelsea Ballerini shares photo with Dolly Parton from ACM Awards rehearsal
"Just a couple of east Tennessee girls getting ready to sing together..."
Kelsea Ballerini and Dolly Parton are getting ready for the Academy Of Country Music Awards -- and they have a sweet picture to show for it.
On Tuesday, the "Peter Pan" hitmaker shared a photo of her and the country legend backstage at rehearsals for the show next week.
"Just a couple of east Tennessee girls getting ready to sing together at the @acmawards," Ballerini wrote alongside the snap that shows her lovingly embracing Parton as the two beam at the camera.
"See you in Vegas!" the official ACM Awards account replies, with Parton herself commenting with a single heart emoji.
The superstars are teaming up for a performance of "Big Dreams and Faded Jeans" off Parton's upcoming album of original songs, "Run, Rose, Run," based on her book of the same name.
Ballerini lends her voice to the "Run, Rose, Run" audiobook, where she voices the character AnnieLee.
The ACM Awards air live from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on March 7 on Amazon Prime.
Maren Morris, Thomas Rhett, Kelsea Ballerini, Luke Bryan, Kelly Clarkson, Walker Hayes, Chris Stapleton and more are on the star-studded list of performers also set to take the stage.
