Dolly Parton’s death will leave a hole in the hearts of countless country fans. Her music is one of the many ways her legacy will live on.

But thanks to all the artists who admired her (which is everyone), her music will live on forever by them performing her songs.

Chris Stapleton’s Tribute To Dolly

During his set, he took time to pay tribute to Dolly Parton, who passed away one day prior, on August 25. The soulful country singer put his own spin on Parton’s iconic song “I Will Always Love You.”

It’s clear he didn’t announce the tribute, because the crowd reacted surprised and emotional when he sang the opening lyric, “If I…”

According to videos from fans in the audience, the screens behind Stapleton were adorned with a black-and-white photo of Dolly Parton.

After he finished his rendition, he simply said, “Thank you, Dolly,” as the audience was giving him – and Dolly – and well-deserved round of applause.

We know there will be a Dolly Parton tribute at all the upcoming award shows, and after this performance, we nominate Chris to be part of them.

FOUR PRIVATE JETS IN 11 DAYS — BUT IT’S THE CARBON COMPARISON BEHIND HARRY AND MEGHAN’S LATEST FLIGHT THAT’S REALLY RAISING EYEBROWS ✈️ Harry and Meghan are facing fresh criticism after reportedly taking their fourth private flight in just 11 days. On its own, that number was enough to restart the debate over their travel habits. But the bigger talking point comes from estimates comparing the latest journey with the same trip taken on a normal scheduled flight. The calculation suggests that, per passenger, the private-jet journey produced dramatically more CO₂ — a gap substantial enough to put renewed focus on the couple’s previous public comments about environmental responsibility. And once the two figures are placed side by side, it becomes much easier to see why critics are calling the contrast uncomfortable. THE EXACT CARBON DIFFERENCE — AND WHY IT’S CAUSING SUCH A BACKLASH — IS IN THE FIRST LINK IN THE COMMENTS.

THREE VEHICLES CAME TO COLLECT HARRY’S FAMILY — BUT ONLY ONE DROVE AWAY WITH THEM, WHILE THE OTHER TWO STAYED BEHIND FOR ANOTHER 40 MINUTES 👀 Prince Harry, Meghan and their children were met by a sizeable private security convoy after landing back in Britain — including a black Mercedes and two Range Rovers waiting near the aircraft. But what happened next was far more curious. Only one vehicle is understood to have left with the Sussex family shortly after their arrival, while the other two remained behind on the tarmac for roughly 40 more minutes. With Archie and Lilibet kept completely out of sight and no clear images revealing who was travelling in which vehicle, the unusual three-car operation has raised an obvious question: what exactly were the other two cars still doing there?

KING CHARLES IS HEADING OVERSEAS AGAIN — BUT QUEEN CAMILLA WON’T BE BESIDE HIM FOR THE ENTIRE TRIP 👑 The King is preparing for a major nine-day tour beginning on October 27, with an itinerary that will take him across several Commonwealth nations before concluding with one of the year’s most important diplomatic gatherings. But there is one unusual detail in the schedule: Charles will begin part of the journey alone, before Camilla joins him later. The tour will also include a visit carrying special historical significance for Britain — marking a major anniversary in diplomatic relations — as well as a series of engagements likely to put the monarchy’s Commonwealth role firmly back in the spotlight.
