The music and acting icon has made her triumphant debut on the social media app.

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.

Trump Dragged After Making Ridiculous Claim About Randomly Finding Billions On The 'Tariff Shelf'

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed to reporters this week that officials in his administration suddenly found $30 billion they "never knew existed"—located on what Trump referred to as the "tariff shelf."

Tariffs are a tax on imported goods, usually calculated as a percentage of the purchase price.

While Jenny Han's novel To All the Boys I've Loved Before was a major hit, and even became a great film success in 2018, not everyone's married to the idea of reconnecting with their exes after the relationships end.

It might be nice to imagine staying friends after the relationships, imagining our exes missing us or regretting losing us, or even giving us an apology for the things they did wrong.
