Age might have subtly etched lines onto her face, but Dolly Parton, the unshakeable titan of country music, remains vibrantly youthful at heart. Parton firmly believes that she will never truly grow old, citing a sprightly spirit as her age-defying secret.
Her age, she insists, is merely a numerical value that fails to encapsulate her lively energy and enduring passion for life and music.
During an intimate interview with The Sunday People’s ‘Love Sunday magazine’, the 77-year-old musical maestro unabashedly credited her youthful appearance to a trio of factors: “It’s all good doctors, good makeup, and good lighting!” she quipped.
However, she was quick to attribute her eternal youth not to aesthetic enhancements, but to a vibrant, tenacious spirit. “I strive to remain youthful at heart, and that feeling sometimes overspills,” she added, a twinkle of mischief in her eyes. “I’ll never be as old as I am.”
According to reports from ‘Female First UK’, Parton, the country music phenom, is embarking on a new musical journey. She is transitioning from her well-established country roots and venturing into the exhilarating realm of rock’n’roll with her newest album titled ‘Rockstar’.
Discussing the record, she expressed her excitement and shared, “Rockstar is one of the most exhilarating projects I’ve undertaken. I genuinely feel like a rock star! I was eager to test my abilities, and keeping up required some serious effort.”
Dolly Parton‘s enduring marriage to Carl Thomas Dean, her partner since 1966 and now 80 years old, served as a significant source of inspiration for the record. Her desire to “please him” above all else underscored her creative process and motivated her throughout the project.
Dolly Parton, recognized across the globe for timeless country classics such as ‘Jolene’ and ‘9 to 5’, has a remarkable career that has spanned over six decades.
With an impressive repertoire of 65 studio albums since her career inception in the late ’60s, she continues to demonstrate her remarkable versatility and indefatigable spirit. Whether it’s country or rock, her music perpetually resonates with audiences, a testament to her timeless appeal.
