⭐⭐ Dolly's Full Performance at the Dallas Cowboys' halftime show⭐⭐

Hi Everyone,

I hope that you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving break and hopefully too, you were able to enjoy Dolly's performance during the halftime show.  

I cannot remember a Thanksgiving without watching the Cowboys, so I already knew my family would be tuned in.   When Dolly appeared in the itty-bittiest outfit I've ever seen her wear, we all giggled a bit, but we also loved her show!  I'm glad she did it and I was excited to see her sing a new song from Rockstar.  She has commented recently that she wasn't going to tour with it citing 'getting all of that talent together' would be impossible.  She chose 'We Are The Champions', which she did as a solo on Rockstar, so that was do-able for live tv.

I recognized her three seasoned backup singers, but the accompanying band was unfamiliar, suggesting she had assembled a new ensemble to support her performance.

I read a lot of news about Dolly, and of course, some folks were ''shocked'' by her outfit.  Whatever.  Dolly does many things well, one of which is knowing how to read a room.  So, pfft to those folks!

I was hoping to embed the video into this blog post, but no, that is seemingly impossible to do with all of the legal restrictions with the NFL, CBS and everyone else involved, so, here's a link to youtube to watch it there.

🤩 Dolly Parton interview round-up 🤩

Hi Everyone,

Here is a round-up of recent Dolly interviews.   Dolly has been on a blitz lately, giving interviews left and right in anticipation of the release of her rock album, Rock Star, out Friday, November 17th, 2023.

Dolly Parton Interviews

During the grand opening of the HeartSong Lodge and Resort, Dolly Parton sat down for a series of interviews with various media outlets.

United Kingdom Promotional Trip

As part of her recent promotional trip to the United Kingdom, Dolly Parton conducted an interview with BBC reporter, Zoe Ball.

CBS and ABC Interviews

Dolly Parton has also been featured in recent interviews with CBS and ABC.

🟢🟢🟢

Nashville's Talk of the Town - a 30-minute episode dedicated to Dollywood, HeartSong, their Dolly interview and a nice look at Nashville's Lipscomb University's exhibit on Dolly's style team gurus who make Dolly's clothes for all her various events, performances, engagements, etc.  Its a peek behind the curtain, so to speak, or Behind The Seams, as Dolly puts it in her new book, which is the basis for the exhibit.  Watch that HERE.

Fox 5 Atlanta - Read more and Watch that HERE.

WGN-TV Morning News in Chicago - Great interview, watch below...

WBTV-News Charlotte, NC - Watch below...

This recent BBC interview can be watched, below...

Norah O'Donnell and CBS

ABC News with Robin Roberts Full Interview

Unfortunately, this video for the full interview was pulled down.  If you have HULU, you can watch the full interview there.

However, here is a teaser video from GMA....watch that below.

🍊🍊🦋🏈 Dolly to make an appearance at Saturday's College Football game University of Tennessee vs. #1 Georgia, at Neyland Stadium 🏈 🦋🍊🍊

Excited to welcome the one and only @DollyParton to Neyland Stadium this Saturday 🧡#GBO 🍊 pic.twitter.com/sYzCFhKQrc

Dolly is releasing her Rock Star album this Friday the 17th, which I can't stop talking about. One of the many editions of Rock Star is a UT version of the album in CD form. 

here's the link above - click here.

UT Football is not predicted to win this game, but WHO KNOWS!  A divine miracle, like Dolly Parton showing up, might be the motivation the Vols need to get this critical Win.  I will go ahead and predict a last-second "HAIL DOLLY'' will be thrown and the Vols receiver will be wide open in the end zone, and catches it, and holds on to it just long enough to be a T, and if there truly ever was a miracle, a holding call will not be flagged.

🤩✨ Rockstar Movie Screenings At Dollywood for Gold and Diamond Season Pass Holders! ✨🤩

Hi Everyone,

We have finally reached release week for Dolly's rock album, Rock Star!  She has teased the heck out of this album for over a year now, and we'll get to hear it in its entirety.   The musical movie will premiere around the country on Wednesday November 15th and some select encore performances on Thursday the 16th.  

I just learned that Dollywood will be showing the Rock Star movie in the Dreamsong Theater (next to former Chasing Rainbows museum) on Friday the 17th IF YOU ARE A GOLD OR DIAMOND PASS HOLDER, so if you happen to be at Dollywood, or are willing to make that trip on Friday, then you can really maximize your Dolly Parton exposure by watching it at Dollywood.  How many other artists can you really connect to like that??  NONE, the answer is NONE.

🔴🟢 Dollywood's Tasting Pass and Celebration Hall Buffet Info for 2023 🟢🔴

Hi Everyone,

I have a couple of updates about the Smoky Mountain Christmas food options for you today.

🔵 First, The Celebration Hall Buffet (Country Fair Area) is continuing from the previous festival into the Smoky Mtn Christmas Festival.

 🔹 One great way to access the Celebration Hall is to use the Handicapable pathway behind Dogs N Taters, that runs alongside the rampage ride, under the train and then boom, you're right there.  As opposed to going up the hill towards the Village, crossing the tracks, and down the hill into Country Fair.

Click Here to Buy Tickets at least 24 hours in advance, if you like, and you can read more details as well.

Here are the menu offerings - subject to change, it says!  Click image to Enlarge.

Here's a recent picture of the Celebration Hall.  I took this b/c they razed a little building, you can see how the pavement is different, but now there's plenty of space to linger!

🔵 Second, Dollywood has released information about its popular Tasting Pass for Smoky Mountain Christmas, so let's dig into it.  All this info comes from Dollywood.com/themepark/dinding/christmas-tasting pass - LINK HERE.

Menu Offerings for 2023, Click to Enlarge

Here's the link to the "BUY NOW" button above, click here.

What do you think about either of these options?  Will you and your guests use the tasting pass?  If so, what are your thoughts about it all?  Tell me in the comments!
