Episode overview
The undisputed queen of country music and bona fide American icon made her Stern Show debut, connecting with Howard from her Nashville studio while flanked by guitars and a smattering of Dolly-branded paraphernalia, including her new book (“Behind the Seams: My Life in Rhinestones”) and new album (“Rockstar”). Wearing a sparkling lime-green outfit while rocking long red nails along with her patented platinum-blonde hairdo, she spoke candidly about her unique Appalachian upbringing, distinctive style, unflinching work ethic, and unparalleled career as well as the legacy she hopes to leave behind with philanthropic efforts ranging from the cool million she donated toward COVID-19 vaccination research (“I thought we were gonna go down with the Black Plague”) to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, which distributes free books to children across the globe.
