Dolly became a mentor.
A collaborator.
A trusted voice.
Someone Miley could call when she needed perspective.
They performed together repeatedly and spoke openly about the admiration they had for each other.

Perhaps the website change has nothing to do with that conversation.
Perhaps “Miley” is simply promotional branding.
Perhaps a new album, single or visual project is approaching.

There is something fitting about the possibility that she could be entering another era immediately after saying goodbye to the woman who encouraged her to keep moving.
