i think the reason people like jolene by dolly parton is because it doesnt villainize the opposing female like most other songs do. most songs written about a man lusting over another woman wont hesitate to say awful things about the other woman. however in jolene, dolly is respectful of jolene and talks about her as though she is just a person who is stronger than her, but still a person that she can ask for kindness from. i suck at explaining things but hopefully thats comprehensible
So I have this headcanon.
Whenever I read a fanfic that says “MC” instead of being written in the first or second person, I do not picture my MC. I picture Dolly Parton.
1) Because I am pretty sure she is a literal angel.
2) Because she would have those demon boys eating out of the palm of her hand in thirty seconds flat.

Hey are you the person who photoshopped the picture of Dolly Parton holding the sword from bloodborne? Because I did this
YES I AM AND HOLY SHIT DUDE THAT'S AMAZING!!!!!
This cover version of Jolene is one of my favorites.
I'll just turn this into a Dolly Parton fanart account. and i'll be a better person for it
I drew some ladies from my 60s Pinterest board <3
Also Dolly! 💙
I’ve been listening to a lot of Dolly lately, I love her so much~

Lil Nas X did a cover of Jolene and Dolly Parton responded to it on twitter
Image descriptions under the cut
[ID: Screenshots of two tweets. The first one is by Dolly Parton and it says "I was so excited when someone told me that Lil Nas X had done my song #Jolene. I had to find it and listen to it immediately…and it's really good. Of course, I love him anyway. I was surprised and I'm honored and flattered. I hope he does good for both of us. Thank you @LilNasX". The second tweet is Lil Nas X responding to the Dolly Parton tweet by simply saying "HOLY SHIT" in all caps. End of ID.]
ok let's make something very clear: Taylor Swift is not a baddie.
she a spoiled white woman who grew up very wealthy and who's individual carbon footprint is larger than the entirety of some small nations.
you know who is a southern baddie? Dolly Parton.
grew up in absolute poverty in a shack with dirt floors
(TS has a rich family and spent every Xmas in NYC)
modeled her style after the town trollop, who she thought was the most beautiful woman in the world, and embraced her sexuality.
(TS retains the image of the young innocent virgin white girl despite being 35 years old and every one of her songs is about a man)
wrote a song about the stupidity of the American work system
(TS is a billionaire with two private jets)
has supported the queer community for decades even through some of its darkest times like the AIDS crisis
(TS uses the queer community like a prop)
started a scientific organization to help cure viruses like AIDS and that even helped develop the Covid vaccine
(TS made the last superbowl all about her becauses she was dating one of the players)
has run a charity since 1995 that sends millions of books to children in poverty, particularly the rural south where she grew up
(TS has done nothing for the south and its problems despite her southern belle persona)
"But she told off Trump! Thats something!"
Honey thats the absolute bare minimum.
That's telling someone 'bless you' after they sneeze.
That's holding the door open for someone in a wheelchair.
Thats waving back to a little kid when they wave at you.
It takes 0 risk and 0 effort and should not be a point of praise.
"Well her southern fans and sponsors didn't like it."
So? Woman is a billionaire with connections all over the world. She literally doesn't need them.
Bottom line: Taylor Swift remains an egotistical bourgeoisie white cunt who should be known for her pollution levels instead of her mid music.
While Dolly remains the bad bitch she's been since the 1970s.
