Fun fact - In the film The Bodyguard, Whitney Houston plays a famous singer who’s being stalked and her new bodyguard, Kevin Costner’s character, brings her to one of his bars… Country n western place. They dance to the Dolly Parton song and this is kinda the start of their relationship and they fall in love.
Fast forward to the end, and Whitney’s Houston’s character decides to cover the song in a new album and goes on tour and it’s a massive hit.
Good film by the way, worth a watch even it’s a bit cheesy. The stalker guy is actually lowkey terrifying lol
