Country music legend Dolly Parton has revealed that she turned down the Presidential Medal of Freedom twice during the Donald Trump administration, though the reasons she gave weren’t political. At the same time, the singer said she isn’t sure she will accept the honor if Joe Biden were to offer it to her.

Dolly Parton revealed on NBC’s Today show on Monday that she refused the country’s highest civilian honor two times during the last four years.

Well, if she does accept it under the Biden Administration we’ll know she’s lying.

She’s worth $600 million. You don’t get that much without being a political being.

I don’t think Dolly needs a medal on her chest. She’s got enough there already.

She has stated repeatedly that entertainers should keep their politics to themselves.

Maybe it’s just me, but I find it weird that so many Country stars are communists. Seems like a big middle finger to much of their fan base.

“reasons she gave weren’t political. At the same time, the singer said she isn’t sure she will accept the honor if Joe Biden were to offer it to her.”

I’m having trouble parsing this. Help me someone?

Dolly Parton will add another first to an iconic career this weekend when she participates in her first Super Bowl commercial.

The music legend re-recorded her hit “9 to 5” as “5 to 9” for a new campaign from website building and e-commerce platform Squarespace.

“All the nine-to-five people, all of them can’t even go work their nine-to-five jobs now, so a lot of people are working from home,” Parton told USA TODAY. The full conversation will air the Monday after the Super Bowl on “Ad Meter Live.”

“They’re building their own businesses online and even the ones that are still working nine-to-five, they still (build their own business) anyway. I thought it was a genius idea for Squarespace.”

If You Ask Dolly Parton About Politics, She’ll Shut You Down: ‘I’m an Entertainer

Dolly Parton refuses to get political. She’d prefer to heal the divide

Not really, they are just like the vast majority in the entertainment industry ...

Dolly is the new breed of leftist country music pretenders, unrecognizable from the brand of two generations ago. Forget her.

Dolly is as fake as they come, never really a huge talent but a suburb marketer. You can’t play guitar with nails like that on her Left hand.
