Dolly Parton Declines Statue at Tennessee Capitol: ‘I Don’t Think Putting Me on a Pedestal Is Appropriate at This Time’
Patron saint of country music Dolly Parton declined a proposed statue erected in her honor on the grounds of the Tennessee capitol in Nashville, saying, “given all that is going on in the world, I don’t think it’s putting me on a pedestal is appropriate at this time.” She thanked the Tennessee legislature, but asked them to removed the bill from “any and all consideration.” However, the honor is not permanently off the table, with Parton noting that she wouldn’t mind a statue “down the road … if you feel I still deserve it.” She added, “In the meantime, I’ll continue to try to do good work to make this great state proud.” She made the state – and fans worldwide — proud when it was revealed that Parton donated $1 million to Vanderbilt University through her Dolly Parton Covid-19 ...

Listen to Preview of Four New Tracks From Ariana Grande’s Deluxe ‘Positions’
Ariana Grande continued the slow tease of the upcoming deluxe edition of Positions on Wednesday (Feb. 17) when she posted brief snippets of the four new songs that will appear on the expanded edition of her most recent studio album. Based on the brief previews, the now-20-track effort due out on Friday (Feb. 19) will add some more bounce to the project on songs such as “Worst Behavior,” which glides along on a finger-snap beat and the lyrics, “I forgot to mention I’ll be there in (inaudible)/ We don’t need to talk too much, show each other what we know.” “Main Thing” has a slinkier vibe, with a subtle wash of keyboards and Grande whisper singing “When I call you (call you)/ You never keep me waiting (waiting)/ I be trippin, I ...
Lil Nas X Chronicles His Turbulent Road to Fame in Revealing ‘Life Story’ TikTok Series
So, in November of that year he moved in with his older brother into a situation where he says there was “domestic violence everyday.” The one-minute clips consists of a series of Lil Nas’ signature selfie videos, with part two kickinh off with the Dec. 2018 release of the mega-smash that would make Lil Nas a global phenomenon, the record-breaking No. 1 hit “Old Town Road.” With literally no money to promote, the rapper used silly memes to promote the song, which helped the track chart on Apple Music and unleashed an onslaught of label deal offers that he characterized as “terrible,” mostly because they were focused on the song, not him. He turned them all down and kept promoting “Road” in his own unique way and before he knew it the Ti...
MusiCares 2021 Person of the Year Gala Canceled, Replaced With Virtual ‘Music on a Mission’ Event
The event will feature never-before-seen performances — some live, some on tape — by Haim, H.E.R., Jhené Aiko and John Legend. (Haim and Aiko are album of the year nominees at the 63rd annual Grammy Awards; H.E.R. is nominated for song of the year. Legend, a Grammy event perennial, is an 11-time Grammy winner.) The event will also include video from the MusiCares vaults of performances at past Person of the Year galas by Stevie Nicks, Usher, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty and “one or two artists” who MusiCares won’t name yet. (A photo of Lady Gaga appeared in an online ad on Wednesday, so she’s probably a good bet.) The event will also feature a pre-show DJ set by DJ D-Nice. Laura Segura, MusicCares’ executive director, told Billboard that the decision to make this year’s event a...
