WWTSD (What Would Taylor Swift Do)

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Country superstar Dolly Parton has asked the Tennessee state legislature not to approve a bill that would erect a statue of her on the Capitol grounds in Nashville. 

Representative John Mark Windle, a Democrat representing Fentress, Morgan and Overton counties, introduced House Bill 135 in Jan., aimed at honoring the music legend. The bill passed unanimously out of the Naming committee earlier this month. 

In a statement released Thursday morning, Dolly asked the state legislature not to consider the bill and said she did not feel it was the appropriate time for a statue dedicated to her.

    She is such a sweet woman....
    Its amazing. She's from Sevier county... EastTN. Yet some jackhole in Nashville thought he should be the one to honor her?

    I'm not sure she was being modest or didn't want to see pictures of pigeon crap on it. I'm guessing the former - she often does many things (such as her book program) behind the scenes, not wanting any special attention given.

    NO NO NO NO NO!
    Not erecting a statue is racist.
    That statue MUST be erected so that my thugs can tear it down.
    Nanzi.

    Maybe she figured any accurate depiction would make the statue top-heavy unstable.

    Been a fan of Dolly my whole life, until she took the word Dixie off her attractions and then caved to a bunch of SJW bullshit. She should have stood her ground like a true Appalachian woman. It was really disheartening.

    Maybe this is why she came out in support of BLM a little while ago???

    It's unusual and refreshing to see a celebrity who is NOT tone deaf to the struggles of average people, and actually understands her/his relative "importance" in the grand scheme of things. Good for you, Dolly.

    Miss Dolly is a minor deity in eastern Tennessee. Heck, ALL of Tennessee. One of my neighbor's has a dog named Jolene (Yes, from Dolly's song).
