I love Dolly. She’s not afraid to laugh at herself. She also loves everybody no matter who they are. Here’s to one smoky mountain girl I would love to meet someday!
Who could dislike Dolly Parton? She's One of the most likeable personalities in the world.
You can tell she believes everything she says
LAB-Lil' Angry B!tch i dont know her plastic surgery
She racist bruh
@@ceerunitup we have a gossip girl on our hands
Rad, you are a racist.
This needs a love button !!!! Congratulations Dolly
I'm not a country music fan but I actually met her at Dollywood and she is such a sweet and genuine person!
Luckyyy
“Other parts of me that won’t do to well at those speeds” I love her 😭😍😍
Dolly is an awesome human being.
I hope you know she’s racist
@@ceerunitup she seems to love Atlanta. The majority of people there r black.
Rad Sickle stop hating on her it’s her belief if she does she does but ik she changed dolly is so wonderful that I’m pretty sure you can tell she’s an amazing human being so don’t you dare say that
My family and I just saw Dolly yesterday for the first time at Dollywood.....she is AMAZING!!! We live nearby and our hearts were broken over the Gatlinburg fires, but Dolly donated so much money, time, and energy into helping those families rebuild their lives. She’s truly a fine human being! God bless you Dolly!
I was at dollywood the day after you were my grandpa and kinda the rest of us especially him he was so mad
Dolly is just so pretty inside and out! She’s like a warm sun with warm spirits! She gives off the most pleasant energy you just want to listen and watch her all day long.!
Thanks Dolly!😇
Dolly’s life has been the best ride of life. Thanks for sharing it with us Dolly
Dolly being Dolly, accented her compression gloves to match her outfit. Love it!
queen of country, owning theme parks, and being just a perfect human being
Yes I could not agree more . I have looked up to Dolly since I was 8 years old and i'm 31 now ...
She’s the Queen of America!
@@slimlouis6441 a queen of hell and Satan
Dolly is truly one of the finest. She lives the motto of giving back to her community. And Dollywood truly is one of the best amusement parks. Great shows, exciting rides, affordable, and clean!
Dolly is so nice and some things you just can't fake and her heart is one of them ... I love Ms. Parton...
Let's all take a moment to appreciate the man in the background who is leaning over and smiling at the camera the whole video
😂😂😂
Hilarious. Grandma behind him also.
Looks like a kid...
Ben Luecken ~ He was loving every minute of it. A moment he’ll tell his grandkids about one day.
He's smiling at Dolly.
I’m so happy to hear that they are making a sequel to 9 to 5. I can remember when I was little watching it with my grandmother, I’ve been a dolly fanatic all my life, and that will never change. I am just so excited to hear about this I love Dolly and all of her movies!!!! Yay!
Thanks for sharing. Dolly is such an accomplished person, not just a great singer but also great businessman and philanthropist.
We loved the park. What really impressed me was how clean it was. Six Flags was so nasty, I expected it there but it was spotless. And no blaring metal or rap noise. We had s great time.
I wouldn't call Six Flags parks "nasty", but I guess when you compare them to Dollywood, that's one of the words that come up.
@@aMondayMorning they r though. Some of them at least
Sandy Juntunen yeah I personally think dolly wood is better then six flags I srsly hate that place
*sunni Roblox* same
Dollywood is one of the best parks in the country. Their coaster collection is relatively small but solid (especially Lightning Rod.) The shows are phenomenal and the food is very good for a theme park. Plus, you gotta love Miss Lillian.
I agree. I was there on Wednesday. Lightning Rod was NUTS! And it's such a beautiful and unique park overall. And yeah, Granny's buffet is the real deal!
Zac G I really can't agree with you. The whole time I was there the rides broke down like every hour. We went for multiple days and Lightning rod was only open once. I didn't even get to ride them.
Roller Coaster Fan agreed. We went this summer and lightning rod wasnt open for the whole week we were in TN. I find Cedar Point, Kings Dominion and Carowinds to be much better. Im more oriented towards the rides and these parks do that for me. And even if one of the big coasters are closed theres dozens more to amuse you. Plus the lines arent long, ive walked right on and rode coasters three times in a row at these parks while dollywood was a two hour wait for shit. Only so many times you can ride a rollercoaster and only so much you can wait for a dissapointment
Saudade 19 yes finally someone who agrees. When did you go? We went at the beginning of July. It was open one day we were there, but the rest it was closed.
Roller Coaster Fan we went early july. We went once and the coaster was closed. Waited the rest of our week there for it to open but it stayed closed the whole time. Dissapointing
Imagine having your own park!!!! shes the best
Oh I just adore Dolly and we’re visiting Dollywood from the UK next week, sooooo excited x
I'm still pretty young and Dolly Parton is my favorite person ever. I just got back from being at dollywood a few weeks ago and it was amazing. All the employees are very nice. And we just happened to be there the day Dolly Parton was visiting! Best experienced of my life. I highly recommend DollyWood. Great place for the family.
Our cabin was surprisingly close to the house she grew up in also. It was fenced off, but it was awesome to be so close to it. The place gave off a good vibe 💖💌👍👏👨👨👦👦
I go to the parade that she is in every year and I remember when I was 3 Dolly Parton waved at me!!!!!!!! I was awesome
She is just the sweetest! I can’t wait to go to Dollywood soon... she seems like a really neat lady!
I had the opportunity to see Dolly and Kenny in concert several years ago. She is so good with her audience, just as kind and down to earth as they come. She talked to the audience like she knew us all her entire life, and it was a wonderful show. She's a great entertainer on stage.
I need to go down to the Smoky Mountains and Dollywood. I feel like I'm missing out on something.
I grew up here in Pigeon Forge and I can confirm you're missing a ton.
shes so funny and sweet. An amazing person right here!
Absolutely love Dolly and Dollywood! One of the best, most laid back yet exciting theme parks I’ve been in. I want to go back ASAP.
OMG,..a "9 to 5" sequel?!? How incredible!!! Can't wait!
A great interview love Dolly Parton always so upbeat and positive
I love how she is like I don’t ride because I have so much to lose my hair and other parts.
Me too! Her honesty is so endearing!
@@AndyMangele I know. I would like to see her out and about doing her own thing without all the hair. They say she goes into down and walks around and does look like what you see on tv.
That part made me laugh so hard. Lol. During this pandemic we can all use a little laugh.
@@Bampitas74ps so true
I’m so glad that I just live around an hour and thirty minutes from Dollywood! My FAVORITE place on earth!
She is SO INTELLIGENT and admirable.
I am so grateful Dolly mentioned the Smokey Mountain fire folks are doing well in their recovery. That news brought me a lot of relief. God bless her and all the Help she provides them with year after year.
I love Dolly. She always seems so sweet and appreciative. And did you notice how she pumped up the whole region, not just Dollywood. Great lady.
Such a lovely lady. Hope she continues her life in good health and happiness.
Always wanted to make this lady she is such a wonderful lady for the most warm heart and you can fill that when she talks and sings I know I'll never get to meet her in person but I can always wish her family is very fortunate to have her and their love what a sweet person I'll always love you Dolly.
Let’s all take a moment to reflect on the part of lightning rod that’s themed to Dolly Parton
coaster studios?
Big Boy Roller Coaster - I mean, have you heard that anywhere else?
0MindSwept0 Yes that joke was around well before the parody
inn0version _ well so far it's the only place I've heard it; but anyway, yes
bahHaHaHa
I just love Dolly shes so down to earth. She seems like she would treat you like a good friend or family if you met her.
Been to Dollywood twice now and booked to visit again next June!! Love the Smoky Mountains, especially Gatlinburg. Long way to come from Australia but worth the long trip
Living 10 minutes from Dollywood makes me the biggest Dolly Parton fan. The things she does to help the locals out are nothing short of amazing. Dollywood is a family park and the sweetest thing. Its like stepping back in history. So laid back.
I absolutely LOVE DOLLYWOOD. IT IS A GREAT WAY to spend family time..It takes about 2 days atleast to enjoy the park..The food is really good.
And remember you money will be well spent..Dolly employees many people, but she also always GIVES BACK. ❤ Dolly is a fantastic roll model and Christian Southern Lady.
Barbie Parr omg so lucky when I grow up ima live in smoky mountains!
I love Dolly and Dollywood. My dogs stay at doggywood while I enjoy my day at the park.
I cant wait to go there!
Today is May 9th and I am going to Dollywood on May11th for an Honors Trip for school. It is 2019 going to the new Wildwood Grove!!!!!!
I’m heading that way in three days! We will be staying in a place called Copperhill tn, we usually stay close to Gatlinburg area, but we chose this time to rent a cabin in a smaller town and give them some tourist dollars, to me I think all this little towns offer rich history an have a lot to offer as well! So Copperhill we’ll be seeing you in three day! So excited!
2:29
Doing God's work.
What a blessing
Glad to hear that all is coming back to normal after all the fires-would love to have the opportunity not only to meet Miss Dolly, but make some good music with her as well
I absolutely love this woman..I live 6 hours from there can’t wait to visit
Dolly you are stunning as always ! Your so beautiful inside and out , your awesome !!
Great vid.
I love dollywood one of my favorite amusement park.
I went to dolly wood this year and it was so fun
Dolly patron is absolutely wonderful she is beautiful inside and out love you Dolly ❤ I go to Dollywood all the time ...I am proud to be a smoky mountain girl too Dolly ❤
Dolly is Amazing.
My Dream is to record an album with Dolly Parton. She is my Hero. I have a Dolly room in my house of stuff I have collected for 35 years. I'd love to meet her & take my picture with her. Lol
When she said Ireland i was like ‘YASSSSS’ She knows who we are.
Noah Mullen ~ There’s a video on CZcams where Dolly is in an Irish Pub.
Here’s a link to the video Just tap on the blue letters and it will take you directly to the video czcams.com/video/2qXFoNrqi3Y/video.html
It’s a very random video and they actually get her to sing “Coat Of Many Colors.” A band member at the Pub accompanies her on the guitar and does a great job. This is my favorite Dolly video because it’s so raw and natural.
OMG that boy in the background on the left is hilarious!
Thanks for a great park Dolly!!
Dolly was is by far the sweetest and most sincere person in the industry! A very spiritual and God loving soul, she inspires so many and is loved by so many! She knows no hate and her love extends beyond color, or sexuality-and she will be the first to admitting so! I always use a lot of her Old Southern Idioms when I post something or talk to Pts or others because she just had a way of staying with you. GOD BLESS YOU DOLLY, you are a TRUE COUNTRY MUSIC AND MOVIE LEGEND and I hope there can be a Joyful Noise Sequel with you and Queen Latifa or some other wonderful musical/movie such as that because the 2 of you were great together - make sure to include Keke Palmer and Jeremy Jordan too!
I am 10 years old! My trip is before my birthday by 5 days!!! LOVE YOU DOLLY!
Such a gracious lady. Beautiful too.
country artist are always the most humble and give credit where credit is due.their fans,i cant stand the celebrities who think their to big to talk to us little people specially when its the fans who put you where your at ,if we didnt go to your movies or your concerts then where would you be,dolly was one person i regret not seeing.
Love Dolly so much ❤️
Dolly Parton is very sweet and talented I love Dolly wood my mom works at dream more much respect to miss Dolly

What an incredible person!
I love dolly and Dollywood sooooo much
I know this is two years later and we’re are in the midst of a pandemic but I laughed so hard when she said she could lose things on the rides Bc I know what she means. Lol. I hope things get more back to normal so we can get back to our lives. I haven’t been to Dollywood but it’s on my bucket list to go. This virus needs to get on up outta here so we can have fun!!!
Love Dolly too.
Dolly is a treasure.
I love her. She is amazing.
No one can hate Dolly.
...and yet 42 numnutz gave this a thumbs down??!!
Judging by these comments I think you might be right.
I WAS AT DOWN THERE IN 2004 WITH MY SISTER AND ALL FIVE OF HER BABY'S THERE ALL GROWING UP NOW
I love Dollywood. I go with my friends there a lot and I live an hour away from there.
I got to meet ms. Parton as a kid because my dad was there with a press event and she was the kindest lady I knew. She almost stole my pen cap thinking it was one of her nails.
Dolly Parton is an amazing woman. She went from extreme poverty to the top of the world. I also think that she is a very smart businesswoman.
♥️....love DOLLY ...🤗
Ughhhh my actual queen
Just love this lady.
Been there this May, had a great time with my friends, loved the rollercoasters and enjoyed the superb food and even enjoyed a show with music from Dolly Parton. She is a great host - also here in this live show promoting her theme park. Love to come back someday.
Love love ❤️Dolly!
I love all the rides at Dolly wood very fun Tennessee tornado is my favorite
I love Dolly Parton she's my favorite
I'm planning on going to Dollywood during Thanksgiving vacation....is it worth my 13 hour drive???
ThePUMPKIN2113 I love Dollywood. It’s the best in the area unless you feel like driving (from my town) four hours to six flags.
How much is it? I hear the cinnamon bread is beyond delicious. :)
The cinnamon bread is deeeelicious! It’s $7.99. I’m not sure of the price of Dollywood.. I think around $60/adult? Kids 4 and under are free.
ThePUMPKIN2113 Dollywood is amazing and just a really nice and happy place :) so I’d say yes
I love Dollywood we are going up the first week in November! So much to see and do.
Always be prompt and on time when it comes to Dolly. Being late won't cut it!!
I personally can't stand country music but I do think dolly parton seems like a really nice lady so I feel like people shouldn't judge a person on what they do
Such a beautiful person and special
I love dolly... dollywood is awesome
I don't know if it's me or if anybody Else thinks this but seems so energetic and that's what I like about her like I would love to be that way when I get to be her age someone always think that she else does but he'll greedy with me and You think she is energetic for her age please put the thumbs up.
I just love Dolly
I live near Dollywood :D
I can't lie...years ago when I heard she was opening Dollywood, I thought she was making a huge mistake. So happy to have been wrong!
I would love to go Dollywood. I've never been. Sounds like fun.
Dollywood is the best. I love that place.
Notice how she says opening day is like the first day of school, something everyone can relate too: That’s Dolly always knowing the right thing to say we can all relate too.
Love you Dolly!
Had I the money to travel...I'd be there.
Holly G it's an awesome place, something for everyone!
I live super close to Dollywood (about 45 min). I love going, but it’s pretty expensive! It is fun though! Their rides are amazing and very entertaining. Been there A LOT OF times and it just never gets old!!
Holly G it’s a awesome you’d have to take a day to get thru the whole park
Holly G I literally live 9 minutes away from there
Holly G I go to tennesse every summer and I went to dollywood last year hopefully we go next year because I wanna see the new expansion
Dolly is a role model and she even shares my birthday
