The country music world is heartbroken as Reba McEntire and Alan Jackson shared devastating news about their beloved friend, Dolly Parton. Reba’s somber post read, “We lost a light that can never be replaced,” while Alan added, “Dolly wasn’t just a singer — she was the soul of this country.”
Tributes quickly flooded in from fans and stars worldwide. For decades, Dolly’s voice, warmth, and generosity made her a beacon of hope. From Jolene to I Will Always Love You, her songs shaped generations and carried messages of love and resilience.
According to family friends, Dolly spent her final days peacefully, surrounded by loved ones. “She said she was ready — she’d done everything she wanted,” a relative shared. Reba recalled her final conversation: “She told me, ‘Honey, when it’s time to go, I’ll go singing.’”
Reba and Alan’s heartfelt words echo a shared sentiment across the globe: Dolly Parton was more than an icon — she was a blessing. Though her voice has fallen silent, her spirit and music will live forever.

Eternal Song
Perhaps Dolly said it best herself, years ago, when asked how she wanted to be remembered:
“I just hope people say, ‘She tried to love everybody and did the best she could.’”
And that’s exactly what she did. She loved — endlessly, fearlessly, beautifully.
So tonight, as candles burn in Tennessee and voices rise in harmony, the world says goodbye not just to a singer, but to a spirit that will forever sing through us all.
Rest in peace, Dolly Parton — the Queen of Country, the angel of music, and the woman who taught us that love, laughter, and rhinestones never fade.
