In a stunning display of humility and grace, Dolly Parton has asked the state of Tennessee not to proceed with plans to erect a statue in her honor. The beloved singer, known for her philanthropic efforts and iconic career, took to Twitter to express her gratitude for the consideration but ultimately declined the honor.
“I want to thank the Tennessee legislature for considering a bill for a statue of me on the Capitol grounds,” Parton tweeted. “I am both honored and humbled by this intention, but I have requested that the leaders of the state legislature withdraw the bill from any further discussion.”
While many might see this as a typical response, Dolly’s words go beyond the ordinary. “With everything happening in the world, I feel that now is not the right time to place me on a pedestal,” she added, showcasing her characteristic thoughtfulness.
Dolly’s message continued with a hopeful note. “Perhaps in the future, years from now, or even after I’m gone, if you still believe I deserve it, I would be proud to stand in our great State Capitol as a grateful Tennessean.” She concluded with a commitment to continue contributing positively to her state.
Social media erupted with praise for Dolly’s decision. One user remarked, “Dolly Parton’s request to the TN legislature to reconsider the statue is exactly why she deserves one.” Another chimed in, “It’s refreshing to see a down-to-earth person like Dolly in the spotlight.” Even members of the popular band BTS have shown their admiration for her, highlighting the universal appeal of her character.
Dolly has always been a class act, as noted by Dictionary.com, calling her “a dictionary-worthy example of humility.” Her relatable persona is further illustrated by a humorous anecdote shared online, reminding us that Dolly once lost a “Dolly Look-Alike” contest to a drag queen.
In a world that often feels chaotic, Dolly Parton remains a shining example of kindness and humility. We are fortunate to have her in our lives.
