Dolly Parton has announced a new line of mash-up shirts and tops inspired by Dolly and UT sports, the OG UT (University of Tennessee).
There are some that are Dolly in UT colors, an "I heart Dolly and the Vols'', "It's Great to be a Tennessee Vol'' with Dolly in orange, and many more styles.
You know, this is a lot of fun for me because I graduated from UT and obviously not low-key fascinated with Dolly (and Dollywood), for most of my years on earth. I don't doubt that I will see some of these shirts being worn around Dollywood.
This mash-up is being produced by a independent mother/daughter business that does impressive work and took off, so to speak. Here's what's on their website:

Dolly announces an exclusive Vols Edition of her upcoming Rock album, Rockstar (November 17th, 2023), as a 2-CD set that includes a live version of Rocky Top!
Awesome. I watched her live at the Glastonbury Music Festival in the United Kingdom a few years ago and I remember wondering at the time how the British kids would react to Dolly's performance. They were enthralled and hanging onto everything she said and sang. So...I kind of wonder if that's the "live version'' that's included in this set? It's possible, but Dolly was also on tour at the time of Glastonbury and Rocky Top was in every set list, so it could be from any place.

So, there you have it folks. Dolly Parton's latest line of merchandise is University of Tennessee-related, and there is a lot of overlap between fans of Dolly and UT in East Tennessee. Go Vols!
