Dolly Parton spoke out defending Elle King after she faced backlash for being drunk during a tribute concert for Dolly’s birthday.
Dolly Parton showed love to Elle King after she had a viral performance at a tribute performance of Dolly’s tune “Marry Me” on the country icon’s birthday in January. Dolly, 78, defended Elle, 34, and urged fans to “move on” from the performance in an interview with Extra. “Elle is really a great artist. She’s a great girl,” she said.
Besides showing her support for Elle as a musician, Dolly admitted that it was a simple mistake in the performance and said that the Love Stuff singer was already beating herself up over it. “She’s been going through a lot of hard things lately,” she told Extra.
