She's rubbed shoulders with some of the biggest names on the planet.

But Katy Perry looked in awe of her idol Dolly Parton, in a picture she posted to Instagram on Saturday.

The 31-year-old Roar singer shared the backstage snap, captioned: 'Gay 4 DOLLY! ❤️'

Katy was wearing an unusual multi-coloured knitted dress and cape as she stood with the petite Jolene songstress.

The Kissed A Girl hit-maker had a VIP pass at Dolly's concert at The Hollywood Bowl last Saturday.

Not only did Katy get to hang out backstage with the 70-year-old country singing legend but she got to gorge on hot dogs and other treats for Dolly and her guests.

She also shared a video on social media on the night.

'Hi everyone, we're at The Hollywood Bowl with Dolly Parton - she's about to go on,' Katy shouted with glee.

'Yes, I am,' Dolly agreed while smiling.

'We love you,' Katy added, a sentiment that was echoed by Parton, who is currently on her Pure & Simple Tour.

'She's about to go on!' The Roar singer couldn't seem to believe her luck

Flashing forward, Katy's video camera captured Dolly on stage singing one of her sweet ballads.

Dolly was dressed up in a flowing white and shimmery ensemble topped by a platinum blonde bouffant hairdo.

Katy was so taken that she drew a halo over Dolly's shining presence.

Of course, Katy and Dolly certainly were in tune as they performed a duet at the ACM Awards in Las Vegas on April 3 this year.

Dolly couldn't stop singing Katy's praises to Rare Country: 'She’s a very smart girl. A very talented girl. She’s a great writer. Great singer, and I hope she does stay in this business as long as I have.

'But she’s very complimentary of me, and I’m very honored and flattered about that.'
