"I love her," she told E!. "Maybe we should do something together—GooGoo and Gaga! You know those GooGoo candy bars in Nashville? I could be Lady GooGoo."
No word from the Gaga camp yet, but this would be a pretty epic mash-up. Maybe the pre-eminent pop star of our time can call up Dolly when she realizes this summer that she's going to need something big to top that "Telephone" video -- and there's nothing bigger than Dolly Parton's... hair.
Parton also says she identifies with Gaga's message of individuality.
"I really do think that I stand for being proud of who you are and not worrying a lick about what other people think, really," she added. "I feel fortunate that I've never had to be anything other than myself."
