Dolly Parton

At Monday's ACM Awards, Kelly Clarkson delivered a stunning performance as a tribute to a country music legend and host for the award show, Dolly Parton.

"One word: DOLLY," she wrote on Instagram alongside a short clip. Clarkson, 39, first broke the exciting news that she was paying tribute to Parton during an episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show last month, saying, "I love her so much." At Monday's 2022 ACM Awards, Clarkson delivered a stunning performance of "I Will Always Love You" as a tribute to country music legend and host for the award show, Dolly Parton.

The Southern fiction thriller was released just a few days after its companion album of the same name came out on Friday.

Last week, Parton released an accompanying book soundtrack — because, of course she did — that features a dozen new songs. And, sure, "thriller novelist" might ...

"I don't ever plan to retire," Parton said. That'll have a lot to do with a lot of people." "I said Dolly and I [met] with no lawyers, no agents," Patterson said, "but when you get out to Hollywood, there's a lot of lawyers and a lot of agents. "I wanted it to be true to the real stories and things that do happen," Parton said. But I never plan to retire." For the novel, Parton wrote lyrics to songs that appear on page (the book features a songbook crediting characters to accompanying tunes). In real-life Nashville, Parton brought her words to the studio. And a book may not be the only way to experience AnnieLee's story. "When he told me he wanted to write something about Nashville, I thought, 'Well, how hard can that be?'" Parton said. "For her to come from the hills of Tennessee — with all the talent she had — but still to make it, the odds were huge that she wouldn't. When I first came from upstate New York to New York [City], same thing: No way am I going to get to be a best-selling author. "I always thought I'd write a novel, or a mystery, at some point in my life," Parton told The Tennessean, "because I do love to tell stories. Parton continued, "The young one? In turn, Patterson — who before Parton worked on a pair of books with former U.S. President Bill Clinton — enlisted a co-author he described as fair, funny and down-to-earth.

LA VERGNE, Tennessee (AP) — Sometimes even Dolly Parton has a hard time keeping up with the legend of Dolly Parton. “I often go into my museum in Dollywood, you know, because I'm in the mood to be there or we're in there doing something or putting ...

I would be doing my music, writing my songs if I had to sell them out of the trunk of my car. Parton's life now is much closer to Ruthanna's, “one of country music's grandest queens.” But Parton is a bit gentler. “Run, Rose, Red” is just one part of their 2022. “Run, Rose, Run” is a close look at the Nashville music scene, through the eyes of women. So I would do it no matter what, even if I had to take another job.” I gave him ideas that he expanded on for the characters and incorporated in the book,” says Parton, whose “Run, Rose, Run” album includes 12 new songs. But I (also) had always wanted to be my own star, and I said that at the start. I would never tell a young person not to follow their dream because I would crush somebody. I think how did I do all that, how did I get all that done?” I didn’t want to be just a girl singer in somebody else’s group.” The singer, songwriter, actor and philanthropist is speaking from another wing of her empire, one of two sound stages at a 7,200-square foot studio complex outside of Nashville, with assistants and technicians moving about and Parton herself in a characteristically cheerful mood on an otherwise overcast afternoon. And I look at all that stuff and think 'When, how did that happen?'” she says.
