<\/a> <\/div>\nJennifer Havener grew up in a small town in Upstate New York. She earned her B.A in Writing & Literature from Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado. She always knew watching reality TV shows and soap operas, particularly ‘Days of Our Lives’, would come in handy someday. When she’s not writing, she’s playing with her dogs, Lola and Ruger<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n Dolly Parton experienced the heartbreaking loss of her husband earlier this year. The best way she knows how to heal is to keep busy. The \u201c9 to 5\u201d singer is touring for the first time in nearly a decade. Tickets sold out in minutes. Keep reading to find out where you can still find tickets.<\/p>\n Dolly Parton turns 80 in January. She isn\u2019t letting age slow her down, but she\u2019s also taking stock and shaping her legacy for when she\u2019s gone. The popular performer has a new hotel opening in Nashville<\/a> next year that will feature some of her most iconic memorabilia.<\/p>\n The \u201cCoat of Many Colors\u201d singer also takes over Broadway. Dolly Parton\u2019s life story is now a musical coming to New York City in 2026. She wrote the music for the production<\/a> and has given her approval for the performers (yes, plural!) cast to play her.<\/p>\n There was a nationwide open casting call for the lead role. Now Dolly Parton is throwing a wide net out to her fans for a unique opportunity.<\/p>\n The singer has a book coming out later this year that celebrates her long career with rare photographs and stories. Dolly Parton posted on Instagram<\/a> inviting fans to be part\u00a0<\/em>of the upcoming book,\u00a0Star of the Show.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n She encouraged fans to submit their favorite concert experience, their favorite song, or how she\u2019s changed their lives in an audio clip.

She\u2019s made a handful of appearances since then but didn\u2019t want to be away from her ailing husband for long. He sadly passed away in March. The singer opened up about how keeping her schedule packed is how she honors her late husband, who supported her career for over five decades<\/a>.<\/p>\n In an unexpected surprise, Dolly Parton announced last month that she\u2019s heading to Las Vegas later this year for a limited Residency. She\u2019s not the only one in Vegas this year. Kelly Clarkson recently postponed the start<\/a> of her own Vegas residency.<\/p>\n Dolly Parton tickets sold out in minutes after they went on sale. Many artists extend the residency if the demand from fans is high. However, there hasn\u2019t been an announcement yet and Dolly Parton\u2019s residency is still scheduled to end after six shows.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/div>\nDolly Parton Invites Fans To Be A Star<\/h3>\n
