Dolly Parton

It was a really special moment.

The singer was first nominated for a CMA in 1968; she's been nominated a total of 44 times.

Country music has long lent itself to harmonizing and verse-swapping duos.

"Inspiring kids to love to read became my mission," Dolly said. "Let’s share this dream that all children should grow up in a home full of books."

She continues to be a source of inspiration.

A Dollywood official's statement aims to make it clear that the theme park is a welcoming place after a Sevier County official used a gay slur against president candidate Pete Buttigieg.

"I'm gonna have a segment on the [show] where I'm doing a faith-based medley, using a choir, of course ..."

Parton reflected on five decades at the Grand Ole Opry -- and performed her most iconic hits -- in a special celebration of her anniversary as a member.

"No point in going down that same Old Town Road. We got other roads to travel," Parton says.

She's been looking to do more faith-based projects.
