About this episode

The Grand Ole Opry paid a heartfelt tribute to Dolly Parton, honoring her legendary career with soaring performances from Carly Pearce, Molly Tuttle, and Jelly Roll — including a moving rendition of “9 to 5.” Surprises like Jada Star’s appearance and a touching video of Dolly singing “I Will Always Love You” brought the crowd to tears. Fans received pink notecards to send final messages, as the music world mourned her passing at 80 after a cancer battle. Buried beside her husband Carl Dean in a cotton dress and stilettos, Dolly’s legacy — as artist, philanthropist, and cultural icon — lives on, immortalized by a bronze frontispiece depicting Tennessee’s spirit.
