Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.
Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 โ 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 โ 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 โ 2000).
A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Partonโs legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.
At Dollyโs request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dollyโs fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at https://t.co/cLu9I7M2wC
In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Partonโs Imagination Library at https://t.co/arzrqInqJA
Five years ago today, Jelani Day, a 25-year-old graduate student with his whole future ahead of him, was reported missing. A week later, his family received the news no family should ever have to hear: he was found dead. They never got the answers they deserved, and that absence of truth is its own kind of grief. We have not forgotten Jelani. Rest In Power.
โFrom her stake in Cesta Collective to her upcoming ventures in media and lifestyle branding, Meghan is proving that royalty can be entrepreneurial. Her 2025 business goals reflect a woman determined to build legacy through ownership, storytelling, and ethical influence. Sheโs not just endorsing productsโsheโs shaping industries.โ
25 years ago, we lost the legendary Aaliyah at 22.
She released her 1st album in 1994 at 15, the game changing, โOne In A Millionโ at 17 and left us only a month after her self titled masterpiece in 2001. RIP, one of the last of our young iconic 90โs superstars. ๐๏ธ

Tonight, the Empire State Building tower lights will turn to a pink sparkle at 9:25 to honor the late Dolly Parton.
Dolly was a global cultural icon whose seven-decade career reached generations of fans. Beyond entertainment, Dolly leaves a significant philanthropic legacy through the Dollywood Foundation and Imagination Library, which has provided hundreds of millions of books to children worldwide.
At Nine-Two-Five tonight, we celebrate her and her legacy ๐
Dolly Parton was a true American icon. First introduced to the world as a "little girl from up in East Tennessee," she became a global superstar.
Her career accolades included 11 Grammy awards, an Emmy, an honorary Oscar, and โ my favorite โ more than 300 million books sent to millions of children around the world through her Imagination Library. All at once she was kind, modest, and funny. With her music, her philanthropy, and her style, Dolly was one of one.
Doug and I send our prayers to her family, friends, and all those who have been touched by her magic. We will always love you, Dolly.
I'm so saddened by the reality that Dolly Parton's kindness, caliber, beauty, generosity and talent was taken from us.๐
She left the legacy of reading behind in her Imagination Library.
Unlike SOME 80 year olds still here๐, it was more important for her to give than to take.
Let's give them something to talk about!
Princess Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, shared an IG story that steals the show today, definitely the highlight! ๐๐

AALIYAH FOREVER
1979 - 2001 ๐ค
25 years ago today, we lost the Princess of R&B, Aaliyah, at age 22. For her 25th anniversary, I wanted to create an ethereal, dreamy & otherworldly design that captures her special aura & essence.
25th August 2001 was a devastating day, and 25 years later, it still breaks my heart. Although I never knew Aaliyah personally, her passing hurt as though I had lost a friend or family member. I was so excited to see where her artistry would take her after the release of her incredible self-titled album only a month prior + all the film projects she had lined up. She had so much more to give, and it wasnโt supposed to end the way it didโฆ
Even though I was just a kid, I made a promise to myself in 2001 after Aaliyahโs passing that I would continue to honour her through my art. Today, as an established fashion illustrator, Iโm incredibly grateful to share my Aaliyah illustrations with my supporters and her dedicated fans. It means a lot to help continue her legacy. Social media also gave me the opportunity to connect & collaborate with Aaliyahโs brother, Rashad Haughton, which has been such a blessing. Weโve built a lovely friendship, and I was honoured to contribute creatively to the Aaliyah Barbie doll released last year. Having Rashad support and co-sign my work celebrating his baby sis, means the world to me.
Forever my favourite artist, Aaliyah will always be a huge source of inspiration to me. Her music, her style, the way she carried herself with such class, regal poise, grace & a maturity beyond her 22 years.
Although itโs heartbreaking that she isnโt here to receive her well deserved flowers, itโs comforting & beautiful to see her legacy continue to flourish. Her timeless body of work & style still inspires new generations of artists today! She will forever be THAT girl, the blueprint and an icon! @aaliyah@RAD_6
We love & miss you forever, AALIYAH. ๐๏ธ๐ค
