Dolly Parton shared wisdom about navigating grief for her friends Kelly Clarkson and Reba McEntire following the death of Brandon Blackstock on August 7.

Parton noted that she has yet to reach out to Clarkson about Blackstock’s death, as she’s been busy promoting her new book, Star of the Show: My Life on Stage, which releases this November. “I will. I’ll catch up with her,” she added. “I love Reba and I love Kelly.”
