Dolly Parton is enchanted Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's romance.
The "Jolene" singer gushed about the "I Can Do It With A Broken Heart" singer, calling her relationship with the Kansas City Chiefs player "great."
"I'm crazy about Taylor," Dolly exclusively told E! News correspondent Caroline Bermudez while promoting her jewelry collaboration with Kendra Scott, out now. "I just admire her so much, what she's done with her life, her career."
"She's such a great artist and songwriter and then their little love affair," Dolly continued. "I'm thinking people love romance."
"Taylor's one of those people that not just puts out great music, but she also has such a big heart," Kendra agreed. "How she treats her fans, how she thinks about others. That's also, you know, it's so good to see somebody like her having the success that she's having." (For more with Dolly and Kendra, tune into E! News tonight Nov. 13 at 11 p.m.)
Dolly's endorsement of the relationship wasn't the only show of support that Taylor and Travis have received recently.
The "I Will Always Love You" songwriter's sweet comments came three days after Taylor was accompanied by her mom Andrea Swift to the Chiefs' game against the Denver Broncos Nov. 10.
Andrea showed extra support for her daughter's boyfriend of more than a year by carrying a red purse with a large charm bearing the Kansas City Chiefs' star tight end's jersey number, 87. For her part, Taylor rocked the team's colors in a red and black tweed jacket and matching skirt.
Taylor's dad Scott Swift also joined them for the game, where he was spotted wearing a Chiefs T-shirt as he bonded with Travis' dad Ed Kelce. The dads enjoyed a sweet moment in their box, with Scott seen leaning in to whisper something into Ed's ear during the game.
And that wasn't the only viral moment that Scott had at the game. Taylor's dad also hilariously photobombed Taylor and Travis as they posed with tennis pro Francis Tiafoe and his girlfriend Ayan Broomfield.
