Dolly Parton claims her goddaughter Miley Cyrus has now "made her point" as an artist and should now calm down her controversial antics.
The 'Jolene' singer, who has always defended the 'Wrecking Ball' hitmaker's flesh-baring music videos and revealing stage outfits, insists she's not worried about the star but hopes she calms down.
Writing about Miley for Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People list - which the former 'Hannah Montana' star was named in - she said: "If I didn't know how smart and talented Miley is, I might worry about her. But I've watched her grow up. So I don't. She knows what she's doing.
"She made her point, she made her mark, and more power to her. I'm hoping that now she can relax and show people how talented she really is.
"Cause the girl can write. The girl can sing. The girl is smart. And she doesn't have to be so drastic. But I will respect her choices. I did it my way, so why can't she do it her way?"
The 68-year-old country musician accepts Miley, 21, has become so sexual and controversial because she wanted to do something extreme to destroy her squeaky clean Hannah Montana image for good.
Dolly added: "She was very proud of the work she did as Hannah Montana, but people were gonna leave her there forever.
"And she was just smotherin' and chokin' in it. So she felt she had to do something completely drastic."

Britney Spears had a "blast" at her sister's wedding.
The 'Perfume' hitmaker took a break from her Las Vegas concert residency to attend her 22-year-old sibling Jamie Lynn Spears' nuptials to James Watson last month.
Britney - who broke of her engagement to her former agent, Jason Trawick, in January 2013 and is reportedly desperate to tie the knot with her boyfriend David Lucado - insists the time she spent in New Orleans for the wedding was wonderful.
Speaking in the new issue of People magazine, the 32-year-old pop star said: "My time off was a blast. It was probably one of the best breaks I've had in a long time. I went to Jamie Lynn's wedding in New Orleans.
"I can't believe my baby sis is all grown up."
Following Jamie Lynn's big day, Britney then flew to Hawaii with her partner David and her two sons, Sean, eight, and Jayden, seven.
The 'Alien' hitmaker said: "Afterwards I spent a few days running around on the beach in Hawaii with my boys."
Britney has been showing off a slimmer figure recently after working hard in the gym and pushing herself in rehearsals for her 'Britney: Piece of Me' shows at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.
She said: "I feel great, I really do. I've been trying to change up my workouts by getting outdoors more. I'm channelling my inner athlete, playing a lot of basketball and more recently taking tennis lessons. Serena Williams watch out!"

Matthew McConaughey came to the rescue of a baby seal.
The Oscar-winning 'Dallas Buyers Club' star reportedly told a group of teenagers to "back off" after they began poking the animal with a stick while he was surfing on the beach in Malibu, California.
A source told the National Enquirer: "Matthew told the kids the seal wasn't hurt, it was resting and sunning itself - and that young pups do this all the time while the mother seal's swim close by until they are ready to re-enter the sea.
"After a 20-minute lecture on sea life, the kids were so anxious to get away that they didn't even bother to ask the star to pose for a photo."
This comes after Matthew's mother Kay McCabe praised her son for his kind-hearted nature last month.
She told People magazine: "Matthew makes me proud because he is very humble and sincere and a very thoughtful person. He is just a great son."

Chris Addison says Peter Capaldi is the "perfect" choice to play 'Doctor Who'
The 42-year-old actor insists his former 'The Thick of It' co-star, who has taken over the role as the titular Time Lord in the sci-fi series, will be fantastic as the Doctor and believes he will bring back an air of slightly menacing mystery to the part.
In an interview with ShortList magazine, he revealed: "I've said it for years - he's the perfect Doctor. We've had terrific Doctors recently, but they've all been missing this note I loved when I was a kid: that you didn't know if you were safe with the Doctor. He was this terrifying, mercurial figure, he could be an imp or an evil genie; it would turn on a sixpence."
Chris believes Peter's portrayal will be "darker" than Matt Smith's incarnation as the Eleventh Doctor and David Tennant's Tenth Doctor.
He also believes Peter might be able to reach the high standard set by Tom Baker, who starred in the series between 1974 and 1981 and is the longest running actor in the role.
He added: "There were moments of darkness in Matt Smith's and David Tennant's Doctors, but Peter's able to play that note of imperiousness. I think he'll be this generation's Tom Baker."
