Reese Witherspoon made her (and our) dream come true by finally meeting her childhood hero, Dolly Parton, after her concert in Los Angeles last night.

Witherspoon put on her fangirl hat for the country legend as she and a group of girlfriends suited up for the big night at the said-dubbed ‘Dollywood Bowl.’ Parton was playing the iconic venue, which meant ample opportunity for the award-winning actress to snag the opportunity to meet up with a fellow Tennessean.

Documenting the whole occasion on her Instagram, Witherspoon could not contain her excitement as she posted photos of the spontaneous meet-up as well as videos during the show. As a Southern belle herself, Witherspoon was totally in her element at the Pure & Simple Tour as Parton brought the charm of Nashville to the city of angels.

Even sporting her Draper James tote asking, “What would Dolly do?,” Witherspoon seemed beyond thrilled to have the chance to see her country queen reign supreme at the live show.

“Today’s #MondayMuse?! The incomparable @dollyparton, who made my musical dreams come true last night! You’re a legend Dolly. I will always love you! #DreamsDoComeTrue #DollywoodBowl,” Witherspoon wrote as the caption of the special shot of Parton and the crew.

Relive the magic of Witherspoon’s wonderful night through the recap of her Instagram memories and be sure to catch Parton on her Pure & Simple Tour this fall.
