Dolly Parton hints Cowboy Carter tour appearance
Dolly Parton says she could show up to Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour. The 79-year-old country music legend was "very honoured" when the Single Ladies hitmaker, 43, remade her 1973 classic - but with a "twist" where she warns Jolene to stay clear of her man. Asked if she can be expected at one of the shows on the mammoth stadium tour, Dolly told the HuffPost: "You never know ― anything is possible! Because she really is doing great with that (tour)." On being "very amused" by Beyoncé's take on Jolene, she added: "I was very honoured that she wanted to do her version of Jolene. "That's all a great compliment to me, when somebody wants to do my songs in any version. "I was very amused by her take on that, and I got a big kick out of that. "She's not gonna sit back and say, 'Oh please don't take my man.' She's gonna kick some ass!" Beyoncé kicked off her Cowboy Carter Tour by raking in a record-setting $55.7 million gross. The Crazy In Love hitmaker finished a run of five gigs at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California on May 9, and pulled in well over $50 million with 217,000 tickets sold. As reported by Rolling Stone magazine, the Los Angeles run was the "biggest reported single-venue engagement" of the year so far. It was also the fifth-highest grossing tour stop in Boxscore history, beaten only by U2 at the Sphere in Las Vegas across 2023 and 2024, Harry Styles at New York's Madison Square Garden in 2022, and Take That's Wembley Stadium run in 2011. What's more, it also marked the highest-grossing single-venue engagement in history by a female artist. Beyoncé started her tour on April 28 and returned to the venue on May 1, 4, 7 and 9, pulling in an average of $11.1 million per night with over 43,000 fans in attendance for each show. With three performances as SoFi in 2023, her eight gigs in total was more than any other artist in the venue's five-year history. On the opening night of the SoFi run, the Grammy Award-winner was joined onstage by her daughters Blue Ivy Carter and Rumi Carter. Blue Ivy, 13, danced with her famous mother during her performance of America Has A Problem. Later on, it was time for Beyoncé and Jay-Z's seven-year-old, Rumi Carter, to make her onstage debut. As Beyoncé belted out the moving ballad Protector, Rumi and her big sister stood with her under the spotlight. Following the performance, pictures of Beyoncé and her three children - also including Rumi's twin brother Sir - appeared on a big screen behind her.

Dolly Parton Celebrates Dollywood's 40th Season: ‘This Was a Dream of Mine'
Country star Dolly Parton is celebrating the 40th anniversary of her beloved theme park, Dollywood. On Friday, the 'Jolene' singer made a special appearance at the family-friendly attraction, which first opened its doors on May 3, 1986, in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. 'Can you believe it's been 40 years here?' Parton, 79, 'I used to think, 'If I am successful, I want to go back home and build something and do something that will be a wonderful thing for my area, for my family, and for all my friends and neighbors, and a place for other people to come and share that.'' During a video montage about the park's history, Mark Ezell, Tennessee's tourism commissioner, expressed gratitude to Parton for supporting the local community. 'We are so grateful for all that Dollywood means to the state of Tennessee,' he said.

The compilation album features nearly a dozen of the singer's songs played at the theme park, including an orchestrated version of her 1974 single 'Love Is Like a Butterfly.' Parton has also partnered with the Tennessee Department of Children's Services and Every Child TN, a statewide initiative that aims to support those in foster care, to offer foster kids throughout the state a free trip to the park to 'experience the fun at Dollywood,' the singer said. 'This exclusive offer is designed to create lasting memories in a welcoming, fun-filled environment,' the park's website Dollywood, which is located in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, officially kicked off its 2025 season on March 14, just shy of two weeks after Parton's longtime husband, Carl Thomas Dean, died at the age of 82.
