Dolly Parton shared a video on her socials today wishing Cher a happy birthday.

Dolly said on the video made especially for Cher, "Hi Cher, it's Dolly Happy Birthday to you, we're the same age now! Well, I might be a minute or two older than you but what's a minute or two between friends and old bags like us." She then laughs and says, "I don't mean that I think we're holding up pretty good for our age, what are we now, thirty...seven, yeah that's it."

Parton continued, "I just wanted you to know I'm proud of you, I think you're great, I hope you'll be around for a hundred more years to hang to with me if nothing else. Anyway, just know that I love you (singing) will always love you along with everybody else in the world."
