Was your first crush a country star? For Dolly Parton, it was Johnny Cash.

Someone dug up an old interview where she said he was the first person she ever had feelings for.

She was a teenager, so he would have been in his late-20’s.

“He was lean and lanky, and that’s when I first realized what sex appeal was.”

Johnny was asked about it in an interview in 1997, and they played him the clip.

He chuckled and said it was “nice of her” to say.
