Dolly Parton is well known for many things and she can now add TikToker to that list.
Recently the country icon was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but flipped the record on everyone. Parton joked she intended to re-brand as a “rock star” in alignment with her similarly titled album Rockstar on the way.
Kicking off this royal declaration, Dolly took to another gargantuan presence in pop culture—TikTok—by starting her own account on the social media giant.

She posted her first video on December 4, 2022 and her following almost instantly grew to upwards of a million followers.
You can see her first introduction post here:
@dollyparton I have arrived! #heyitsdolly #dollytok
Many people stated this was a welcome addition to the platform.
In fact, it was impossible to locate a single person with a negative reaction over the platform’s newest member.

"Welcome, queen!"
