Dolly Parton Confirms the Rumors at 77: A Bold and Inspiring Move We Can All Applaud ❤️

Dolly Parton has done just about everything there is to do in music, but the country music icon keeps finding new ways to push her boundaries. Fans are thrilled to hear that Dolly is finally releasing her debut rock album! A year after initially declining a nomination to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, feeling she hadn’t “earned the right,” the 77-year-old icon was inducted last November. True to her word, Dolly is now making sure no one questions her place in rock history.

Dolly has officially announced her rock album, *Rockstar*, set to release on November 17. This album is a huge project, with a total of 30 tracks—nine originals and 21 new renditions of rock classics. Among these, she’s collaborating with legends like Sting on “Every Breath You Take” and her goddaughter, Miley Cyrus, on “Wrecking Ball.”

The album will also feature Stevie Nicks, Steven Tyler, Sir Paul McCartney, Elton John, and more incredible artists. Earlier this year, Dolly spoke on *The View* about her induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, sharing, “I didn’t feel like I deserved it, but they insisted.
