Dolly Parton somehow stayed 25 for 55 years, built an empire in rhinestones, loved God without weaponizing it, welcomed everybody, gave back endlessly and made being kind look powerful. ❤️
Ultra feminine. Business savvy. Inclusive. Faithful. Funny. Generous. Completely Dolly.
There will NEVER be another one. Rest beautifully, Dolly. 🕊️💎
An apt day to remember that Dolly Parton once recorded a cover of Stairway to Heaven - and, in defiance of every moral law in the universe, she absolutely owned it.
🔥DOLLY PARTON HAD TO PULL HER CAR OVER & ALMOST WEPT… the first time she heard “I Will Always Love You” by Whitney.
She made around $10 million off Whitney Houston’s version of “I Will Always Love You” in the 90s.
Most people would’ve bought a bigger house or a boat.
She bought a whole strip mall in a Black neighborhood in Nashville instead. Off the beaten path.
She said she did it because of Whitney… called it “the house that Whitney built.”
Same woman who built Dollywood and started the Imagination Library. That program has sent out over 325 million free books to kids so they grow up loving to read.
And when Hurricane Helene hit her people in East Tennessee… she put up $1 million of her own money and her companies matched it with another million.
Quiet class. No big speeches needed.
This one is for the diva who showed us what it means to be an icon. 💖 Dolly Parton taught us to lead with heart, kindness, and sparkle. Our hearts are with her family, friends, and fans. Thanks for the music, memories, and magic. Dallas will always love you, Dolly. 🩷 - The Ball
I just cannot get enough of watching this race and the trainer’s reaction as she realizes there’s a chance they’re going to win. I can’t behold that level of pure human joy without tears. It overwhelms me.
