While bad news travels fast these days, it doesn’t travel quite fast enough to ensure that at least a handful of people won't find out that Dolly Parton has died thanks to this post featuring a cartoon giraffe who is wearing a t-shirt that says “Dolly Parton has died.”
Ugh. This one hits right in the feels.
Despite the giraffe’s cute appearance and upbeat attitude, this post still has to be an awful way for the small percentage of people who weren’t already informed of the beloved country singer's death by a text from their mom or a post on Variety to find out that she is gone.
Dolly was a true legend who will be missed by fans all around the world, some of whom will never be able to think of her without recalling that this post was the way they discovered she died.
Sorry, few people who didn’t already know. It was going to be sad no matter how you found out, but finding out this way does indeed make it even sadder.
