LA Police find reported kidnapping is just a rogue music video shootAt first, police thought a kidnapping might have been unfolding right before their eyes. Upon further investigation, they realized some people were just shooting a music video right outside of Los Angeles. Even though the scenario might have been fake, the props were entirely too real. Police say a shovel, duct tape and a gun filled with ammunition were included - and that led to a very real arrest. InsideEdition.com's Stephanie Officer explains.

Miley Cyrus took to the stage in an off-white suit with her godmother to perform “Jolene,” Parton’s 1973 hit that the two have dueted on in the past. Mark Ronson, BTS, and more could be seen singing along in the audience. Maren Morris joined the duo for a stripped down version of Neil Young’s “After the Gold Rush,” which Parton covered with Emmylou Harris and and Linda Ronstadt on their 1999 album “Trio II.” The song’s a cappella moments prompted swaying arms from the audience.
Parton also performed a song from the soundtrack of Netflix’s movie “Dumplin,'” “Red Shoes.” She was joined by Grammy favorites Little Big Town. And yes, Parton was wearing red heels.
“Anybody out there working a nine to five job?” Parton asked to transition into her 1980 single “9 to 5,” written for the comedy film of the same name starring Parton, Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Dabney Coleman.
Parton is one of the most successful country artists of all time. Most known for “Jolene,” “Coat of Many Colors,” and “9 to 5,” she has won nine Grammys, three American Music Awards, 10 Country Music Association Awards, and seven Academy of Country Music Awards. She has had 41 Billboard top-10 country albums, the most for any artist, and 25 of her songs have topped the country music charts, tied with Reba McEntire for the most for a female musician. One of only seven women to win the CMA Entertainer of the Year Award, Parton was also inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1999.
The 61st Grammy Awards opened with a performance from J Balvin and Young Thug, who were joined by Ricky Martin, Camila Cabello, and Arturo Sandoval. Fellow performers included Cardi B, Brandi Carlile, Dan + Shay, Post Malone, Shawn Mendes, Diana Ross, and Janelle Monae.
