Under the Spotlight: Dolly’s Silver Lining
From Jolene’s trembling plea to the disco shimmer of Here You Come Again, Dolly’s career has always danced on reinvention. At Dollywood’s I Will Always Love You Festival, her LED silhouette glowed like a comet across the night sky.
As the final chords of Islands in the Stream faded, I thought of her 1977 crossover gamble. Glittering gowns, genre-bending duets, and a gospel heart that never wavered—each era a testament to turning trials into triumph.
Standing beneath those stage lights, I saw storms weathered and hope rekindled. That’s Dolly’s silver lining.
