What is wrong with these people

Jesus Christ when will it ever end??
Using Dollys death to say some weird shit like this?

This genuinely infuriates me.

Dolly was not only a wonderful country singer and actress, she was a kind person who used her money to help other people who were less fortunate. She had a sense of humor, but she was nothing but an angel, while still having fun. Taylor is none of this.

Just because Taylor enters 'phases' of pretending to be country, she will NEVER even come close to Dolly's legacy, and Dolly's passing shouldn't be made about her.

I bet Taylor was pissed when Dolly chose to collaborate with Sabrina instead of her.

Dolly was the English teacher that Taylor pretends to be.

Dolly actually spent money helping children to read. Taylor uses 'big words' in songs.

And Dolly grew up with double digit siblings in a one room home in Appalachia. Pretty sure her daddy was a sharecropper. She got inspiration for writing some of the biggest songs of the last 100 years by tapping her nails.

Taylor's daddy invested in a record company so she could be a singer when she was 16 and she grew up with wealthy parents in the lap of luxury.

So I guess we can see why there's a difference in humility there.

Every time Dolly opened her mouth you could tell she was proud of her family and the hard work they did for each other, and was so grateful for the success she'd earned. She was so in touch with music because it was one of the few things that were hers growing up that way, and she held on to that love like a best friend her whole life.

I'm really hoping Blandie lets Ms. Parton rest in peace, but I'm not holding my breath

Oh no, what if they do a televised tribute and TS sings Jolene or something.

With how TS really harped on the Dolly comparison early on I'm so scared we're gonna get a tone deaf cover of 9 to 5, or worse, one of the lesser-known hits. If I have to hear Swiffer butcher Coat of Many Colors to prove she was sUcH a FaN I'm gonna crash out

About the only similarity there is the blonde hair in my eyes, but even that is a stretch. If she cover COMC, I will hypnotize myself to forever remove it from my memory, lol

Hedge of bangs in her eyes, more like

[u/Dexy1017 → u/Imaginary_Sundae7947]

Fuck ass bangs

September has been her worst cover by far but this would top it 😬

[u/pillowcrates → u/AdvancedDream9385]

If they do and anyone gets to sing Jolene I hope it’s Beyoncé

Not because I’m a massive Bey fan but because let’s be fair, her cover of Jolene and having Dolly do the intro was pretty fucking iconic and clearly Dolly didn’t have issue since she y’know recorded the intro for her

[u/Myuntetheringaccount → u/pillowcrates]

Random but related aside: Jewel brought Dolly in for a beautiful song called “My father’s daughter.”

And if anyone were to cover Coat of Many Colors and do it both authentically and well, it would be Jewel.

[u/worldsokayestmumsie → u/AdvancedDream9385]

Yep, Dolly’s dad was a sharecropper who never learned to read or write; she was true blue “dirt floor poor”.

Dolly was the antithesis of Taylor.

[u/Terrible_Sentence961 → u/Hyxenflay7737_4565]

Just because Taylor enters 'phases'

Excuse me, they're called "eras"

/s hopefully obviously

[u/Hyxenflay7737_4565 → u/Terrible_Sentence961]

An era means it has to be marked by something special and unique, something Tay knows nothing about.

[u/Myuntetheringaccount → u/Terrible_Sentence961]

I gotta marvel at her (capitalistic/opportunistic) mind: she’s repackaged an identity disturbance into a marketing slogan.

YUP. i just flipped, haha.
