Referencing Hayden Panettiere’s recent death while mourning Dolly, one celebrity wrote, “The blonds are really taking heaven by storm this week. 💔”

As a Celebrity Reporter, I cover everything from fashion and award shows to TV, film, and cultural conversations.

“Dolly opened doors not just for me, but for her entire family to reach the potential we didn't even know was possible,” Bryan added in part. “Dolly also opened doors for generations of singers, songwriters, musicians, and dreamers from every walk of life and across every continent. By her example, we believed that anything was possible. She never saw a door she couldn't open, and the doors she opened made and changed history.”

“As I’ve shared in video messages throughout the past year, I am dealing with some health issues that I just didn’t pay attention to when I was watching over Carl,” she told People on Aug. 21. “Even though I’m still healin’, I’m still workin’! You know me — as I’ve often said — I’ve dreamed myself into a corner and I still have so many things I want to achieve, so I’m gonna keep on working as long as I can to see everything come to life.”

“Dolly recently sent me a beautiful message, telling me she loved me with her whole heart,” he said. “I will always love her in the same way ….. with my whole heart … and I always will.”

The world feels a lot less sparkly all of a sudden.

So glad she’s with her Carl Dean. No one talk to me today.

“Somehow she was true grace and true grit, all in one dazzling person. She possessed the softest heart when it came to the struggles of others, and a backbone of steel to defend her own self worth as an artist,” she continued.

“Along with her other fans, I am so grateful for all of it. For the melodies and lyrics she wrote that thawed even the coldest hearts. For the millions of books she provided children all over the world so that they might fall in love with stories the way she did. For the tightropes she walked so that young girls like me could grow up dreaming of joining the circus too,” Taylor concluded, adding, “Dolly, I’ll think of you each step of the way.”

“Dolly, I miss you already. Your talent, your wisdom and your beautiful spirit lit up our lives. Go soar with your angels…. We will always love you. ❤️,” she added.

“your light will be something the world will search forever to find again 🦋🦋🦋 i will always love you,” she added.

Connie then referenced her Nashville costar Hayden Panettiere’s recent death as she added, “The blonds are really taking heaven by storm this week. 💔”

“I never knew anyone like her. She was simultaneously a naughty, playful southern gal from the hollows of Tennessee and a deep, soulful thinker who could see through people right down to their true selves,” she later continued. “She was many things…lyricist, songstress, player of many instruments, writer, prankster, visionary, loyal friend, who’d never go to bed before she and her friends had laughed so hard they’d have to cross their legs.”

“To her gay and trans fans, I want you to know that she loved you. You know that without me telling you. She loved all her fans and they are legion. And you know she doesn’t want y’all to mourn now. Dress up and celebrate her spirit. But first, watch the final episode of Grace and Frankie where she’s an Angel, the head honcho working class angel in Heaven,” she added. “RIP, beautiful woman. We love you. ❤️”

It’s hard to imagine many people having a bigger impact than Dolly Parton. Born in a one-room cabin, she earned 11 Grammys and an Emmy, built a business empire, helped millions of kids learn to read, and — as if that wasn’t enough — helped accelerate the research that led to the… https://t.co/gl4KGm4vnk

Dolly Parton was one of a kind—a great songwriter and performer who told the stories of everyday Americans with honesty, humility, and heart. She rose high from her East Tennessee roots and never forgot where she came from. And she always believed in giving back, especially in…

“Doug [Emhoff] and I send our prayers to her family, friends, and all those who have been touched by her magic. We will always love you, Dolly,” she added.

“She was a very clever business woman who understood the value of her music and, most importantly, the effect that she had on the people of the world,” he continued. “There was no greater honour for me than to have her sing my song Let It Be and, even though I only made a small contribution to it, I am so honoured that she did it. I am so proud to have known her and admire her unique talents. Thanks Dolly for the beautiful music you gave me and the whole world. We will always love you, god bless and rest in peace. You were the best.”

“We will remember and cherish every memory and every note you ever played and sang. Thank you, Lord, for Dolly. She’s gonna have a blast in heaven singing all her favorite songs with all her family and friends who have gone on before her,” Reba said. “I’ll never forget the first time I met you and I’ll never forget our last conversation. I hold it with love in my heart.”

“Our prayers are with Dolly’s family, friends and everyone whose life she touched. Rest in peace, Dolly. Your beautiful spirit and remarkable legacy will live on forever. 🙏🏾🕊️,” they added.

“What an astronomical human being. What a legacy. What a loss. There will never be another Dolly,” she added alongside a string of broken heart emojis.

“Legend. For real. Forever. And always advocating for those she knew and understood needed a champion,” she continued. “What a loss. But aren’t we so lucky,so fortunate for the endless gifts she shared. With the world. Godspeed and RIP. You will be terribly missed.”

"I had the honor of meeting and singing with her several times. Every time I saw Dolly, she was a pure, sweet (but not saccharine) sassy, cup of joy," she continued. "Her way of looking at life with a sense of humor has always been an inspiration to me… I remember having a dream of having her sing with me for my Super Bowl show, popping out of a larger than life rhinestone cowboy boot… and though she couldn’t do it at the time she sent my team a sweet note, through fax… it was 2015! lol."

Katy added, "If there’s someone you wanna look up to and model your life after, it’s Dolly. Dolly was glam, funny, and kind as fuck. Her star will forever shine bright and I bet you she’s already remodeling them pearly gates with rhinestones. We will always love you Dolly!"

“Our hearts go out to her family, her team, and all of her friends. I believe she would want us to celebrate her life, be true to who we are, and show each other love and kindness. She loved Jesus and lived like He did, by example. Thank you, Dolly, for all the love and music you put into this world. You will live on in your songs and in all of our hearts,” the post added.

“Dolly had a way of deeply belonging to every one of us, and yet somehow still not being of this world. There’s really only one other person in human history I can think of who has held that light,” she wrote in part.

“Before I met her, I loved her because she took a risk and accepted me (and all of us) for being gay in a time where she didn’t need to say anything. And she has been asked to comment and speak on MANY things over the years… choosing only to speak on that which brings love and mercy to real people, and shutting down any line of questioning that won’t. She never wavered on accepting anyone for who they were and who they were meant to be,” she said. “After I met her, I loved her for being obscenely generous, whip smart and possessing the kind of otherworldly discernment I’ll never stop chasing.”

Brandi added, “And yet I’m nobody and everyone all at once. Just a heartbroken Dolly fan at the end of the day with a head full of memories, prayers and songs left behind by a big breasted angel with a twinkle in her eye and the whole world in her hands.”
