Tennessee Teams Honor Dolly Parton | California News

Tennessee football is paying tribute to Dolly Parton with a special butterfly helmet decal in her signature handwriting, honoring her deep roots in East Tennessee and her iconic connection to the state. Though she never attended college, Parton received an honorary doctorate from UT and made a memorable appearance on the field with Peyton Manning singing “Rocky Top.” Coach Josh Heupel praised her generosity and lasting impact, especially in her home state. Meanwhile, Middle Tennessee State will honor her with a patch and QR code donations to her Imagination Library. Originally postponed due to health concerns, her beloved “Dollyfest” is now set for 2027 to celebrate her enduring legacy.
