Dolly Parton performs with Brandi Carlile, Maren Morris at Newport

An audience of lucky listeners witnessed a one-of-a-kind musical collaboration by country music icon Dolly Parton at the Newport Folk Festival in Rhode Island on Saturday. Parton emerged onstage wearing a head-to-toe, glowing canary yellow jumpsuit — no spotlight needed — to perform a memorable ensemble with top female artists during a set mysteriously dubbed "The Collaboration."

She was joined with artists including Sheryl Crow, Brandi Carlile, Maren Morris, Lucy Dacus, Jade Bird.

Parton sang a number of her classics, including "Jolene," "Eagle When She Flies" and "I Will Always Love You," ending with the ultimate working woman's anthem, "9 to 5," according to Pitchfork .

Parton seemed pleased with her impromptu appearance when she posted on her Instagram account:

“I just love surprises. You should have seen the look on your faces. Thanks for having me @brandicarlile #NewportFolkFestival”
