The queen of country took the stage with a pop princess on Sunday. 

Dolly Parton and Katy Perry performed together at the Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas. The duo sang Parton's hits "Coat of Many Colors" and "Jolene," with Perry shifting her pop attitude for a country vibe, all while dressed like a neon cowgirl. 

Perry was also there to present Parton with the Tex Ritter Award, a film award that honored Parton's NBC TV movie Coat of Many Colors
