One thing about Dolly that gets under-discussed in my opinion is that she's easily one of the greatest & most famous drag queens of all time and a living testament to the idea that cis women can be drag artists. No one but her family even knows what she looked like under all that
Dolly Parton was truly a sweet heart, she was one of the few country stars who showed support to Lil Nas x when the country industry was shutting him out and wouldn't play him on radio bc he wasn't whyte enough.
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. 💖 @dollyparton
Dolly was openly pro-LGBTQ+, pro-Black Lives Matter, pro-women’s rights, pro-literacy, pro-science and proudly Christian while remaining firmly rooted in country music and although several tried, no one could ever intimidate her into backing down or being silent. 1 of 1.
Dolly Parton on Miley Cyrus
‘when they were bashing Miley, I was kicking ass up and down ‘she's trying to grow up she's trying to not be Hannah Montana, she wants you to know who she is Destiny Hope! Miley Cyrus!’
The way she always stood by Miley, someone check on Miley pls 😭
acho que ninguém honrou e celebrou tanto a dolly parton ao longo dos anos quanto a miley cyrus. a admiração dela pela madrinha sempre foi especial demais
