The tributes keep pouring in…

As you’re probably aware, the world lost it’s beacon of light Dolly Parton this past Tuesday.

It still doesn’t feel real.

I usually don’t get hard by celebrity passings, but Dolly’s for some reason shook me.

Maybe because she seemed like family, even though we have never met. I think a lot of people felt that way about her.

And the tributes continue to happen worldwide, and the latest that caught my attention is Ella Langley’s version of “Jolene” that the broke out this past Friday night in Auburn, AL.

Soooo good:

@emily.these.days Last night in Auburn, @Ella Langley said, “Tonight’s show didn’t feel right without doing something like this” and proceeded to sing “Jolene” in honor of @Dolly Parton. One of my favorite moments from the night 🦋 #ellalangley #dollyparton #concert #auburn #fyp ♬ original sound – Emily 🦋

Such a cool version. Dolly would approve, I’m sure.

In case you weren’t aware, Ella is one of the biggest stars right now.

Not just in Country music, but worldwide, thanks to her massive hit “Choosing Texas”, which could hit a record 20 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. (I so hope it does!!!)

And for those living under a rock, here’s “Choosing Texas”:

Anyhow, I’m hating the reason for the Dolly tributes, but I’m sure enjoying seeing some of the best honor THE BEST.

I’m sure Dolly is feeling all the love wherever she is…
