Dolly Parton has just won her 14th Grammy, this time in the Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song for her collaboration with Zach Williams for the song "There Was Jesus."

Dolly posted to Instagram just minutes ago, "Thank you Jesus, thank you @zachwilliamsmusic, and thank you to the GRAMMYs and all of our fans. I am very humbled but proud."

Dolly said of being a part of the Grammy Awards for so many years, "I think to be part of that whole show is great and certainly when you're nominated is great but when you win that's even greater. You know, I am always proud. I was always so proud of my The Grass Is Blue Grammy (2001)."

Parton noted that she does not keep her awards at her home. "I have a museum, see a lot of people are not lucky enough to have their own museum but up at Dollywood our theme park we do have a museum called 'Chasing Rainbows' and that's where I carry all of my awards 'cause I don't really like them all over my house, I over ran that years ago."

Nancy Brooks has been working in the country music industry for almost 30 years. She has interviewed pretty much any country star you can think of. In the late 1990s, she started working with Dolly Parton. And yes, Nancy reports that Parton is as sweet as you would think. She loves her life in country music and has been backstage at every CMA Awards show since the late 1990s. Many of her stories are from her one-on-one interviews. She was there at the beginning of the incredible careers of many music superstars today, including Taylor Swift, Shania Twain, and Blake Shelton, and has interviewed them multiple times throughout the years.
