"I'll have a solo performance of 'I Hope You Dance' by Lee Ann Womack -- love that song," Barrett told ABC Audio ahead of the show. "And then I'll be doing an opening number with Jimmie Allen and co-hosting alongside Jimmie and Dolly. So lots of outfit changes as well."

Just how many changes? Enough to bring up the name of a legend.

"Reba level?" Barrett teased. "Yeah! Five or six outfits altogether. So it's a good amount."

On Parton's "Good Morning America" appearance Monday, she also gave a teaser of what's to come, sharing that she'll be singing a song from her new album, "Run, Rose, Run."

"I'm singing another song from the album called 'Big Dreams and Faded Jeans,' which is really true to the story also with anybody that goes to Nashville to try to make it," she said.

Tune in to Amazon Prime Video starting at 8 p.m. ET to watch the star-studded, two-hour, commercial-free show.
