Dolly Parton Honored During Emotional Night At The Grand Ole Opry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Grand Ole Opry honored the life and lasting legacy of country music legend Dolly Parton on Saturday night. Members of the Opry family gathered onstage for a touching tribute following the heartbreaking news of her death earlier this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carly Pearce opened the emotional evening with a moving performance of \u201cThose Memories of You.\u201d Pearce, who previously performed at Dollywood, became an official member of the Grand Ole Opry in 2021 after receiving an invitation from Dolly herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cIt only feels right that I get to honor the queen tonight. Dolly, we love you,\u201d Carly said.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The tribute followed the Grand Ole Opry\u2019s tradition of honoring a beloved Opry member on the first Saturday following their passing. While Saturday\u2019s performances offered a heartfelt remembrance, a larger and more official tribute dedicated entirely to Dolly is expected to take place in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
