Kelly Clarkson asks Dolly Parton to duet with her: 'She faxed me back and said she would love that'

Songstress Kelly Clarkson has revealed that she told her husband Brandon Blackstock about her love of Dolly Parton's 'Hard Candy Christmas' and he suggested that she reach out to the legend and ask if they could perform it together. 

Speaking to Billboard, the hitmaker confessed that she eventually sent Parton a letter and was amazed by the response:

"I told my husband that one of my favourite Christmas songs of all time was 'Hard Candy Christmas' and he said, 'Well, why don't you call Dolly and see if she'll come sing it with you?' I was like, 'Oh sure, I'll just randomly call the queen of country music and see if she'll come sing with me!'"

She went onto add that she followed her husband's advice and sent the note, and got a wonderful response from the icon via fax, which she wants to have framed as a keepsake:

"Dolly doesn't email. She faxes! I don't think I've ever gotten a fax before. She couldn't do it on such short notice, but I have a fax from Dolly Parton! I'm having it framed and it's going on the wall. She said she'd love to come next year."
