Dolly Parton on why her husband never wanted to be seen in public with her and how she knew to keep his life private.
“My husband did not want to be out there. He never did an interview in his life.
When I first got here, I won Song of the Year and won my award in 1966, the year we got married. I wanted him to go with me, so he rented a tuxedo. I begged him to go.
When we were leaving, he started taking off the jacket and said, ‘Now, I want you to do great, but don’t you ever ask me to go to another one of these damn things, ’cause I ain’t going.’
And he never did.
I knew right then that I was just gonna keep him private as best I could. Never ask him to do nothing, and certainly he wasn’t gonna volunteer.
He was very proud of me, of course, but we got along great because we didn’t have nothing to fight over like that.”
@theborncowboy so nobody's allowed to wear a dress selena once wore because then she would be insecure because someone dared to look better than her? ok
Dolly Parton’s sister, Stella Parton, reveals that Dolly told her she’d allow her medical team to try experimental drugs on her in the hopes of helping others in the future, even if there was no hope for her:
“She told me recently that if there was no hope for her, she would still allow her medical team to try experimental drugs in the hope of helping others in the future.”
The fact that she gets away with everything unscathed is astonishing to me…no greedy billionaire accusations, no heat from marrying an Epstein regular. If it was any other female artist, they would’ve been burned at the stake in plain sight. Performative activism at its finest.
the album doesn't really have a turning point between “in love” and “sad”. she never actually felt good. never. the “in love” and “sad” parts have always existed simultaneously, the turning point is her realizing that her inner sadness doesn't go away just because she's in love.

Miley Cyrus pays tribute to her late godmother Dolly Parton:
“The feeling of losing my Aunt Dolly is beyond what feels right to share. Our most sacred moments were private and they’ll stay there behind the stage, beneath the glamour & between our hearts.
What I KNOW is Dolly would want me to feel it, write a song about it, and then continue on and be strong. I have an angel by my side. I always have. One of our last conversations was about music and metamorphosis. 🦋
I will always love her and want to make her proud. My heart breaks for the world, her family and friends who will miss her deeply. We’re in this loss together and we will see her in all of the most beautiful things. 💖”
