The 80-year-old singer has inspired generations with her heartwarming hits that have moved countless souls, and Perry has been no stranger. From songs filled with hope to those about heartbreak, her music has left listeners deeply connected to her words and melodies.

Her sudden passing shattered the music world. Not just fans, but her fellow artists also poured their hearts out while mourning the loss of a legend. The 'Firework' singer took a moment to remember the iconic singer and songwriter during the screening event for her concert film.

Katy Perry recently attended the screening of her concert film, Katy Perry: The Lifetimes Tour Live in Paris. During the Q&A session at the event, the singer reminisced about the 80-year-old music icon and praised her contribution to music as well as her philanthropic work. She also went on to share a few heartfelt words about how Parton has inspired millions of people through her music.

“She was an Earth Angel, so I think her legacy is one to follow and look up to forever, and I just think it's going to continue to expand, and I think everyone should emulate her,” the 'Dark Horse' singer said. “She's kind of like the bar,” Perry added. 

Urging her fans to discover more of Parton’s music, Perry added during the Q&A session that the "9 to 5" singer was one of the most legendary songwriters of all time. Apart from the screening event, the singer also paid tribute to Parton during her show in San Luis Potosí, Mexico.
